Résumé
Paragangliomas have a rich blood flow and are located around large vessels; thus, resection is often difficult. We herein report a case of a paraganglioma that was located immediately behind the inferior vena cava and bilateral renal veins and successfully resected by laparoscopic surgery. A 72-year-old man was incidentally diagnosed with a 7-cm retroperitoneal mass immediately behind the inferior vena cava and bilateral renal veins by computed tomography. The mass was diagnosed as a retroperitoneal paraganglioma. The patient underwent laparoscopic surgery in the left lateral decubitus position. The tumor was dissected completely with no complications. Resection of retroperitoneal paragangliomas is often a surgical challenge. The feasibility of the laparoscopic approach to such paragangliomas was demonstrated in the present case.
