TELLEZ-BELTRAN, Diego et al. Gangliocytic paraganglioma in a 24-year-old male patient: an infrequent cause of gastrointestinal bleeding. Cir. cir. [online]. 2020, vol.88, suppl.2, pp.103-107. Epub 08-Fev-2022. ISSN 2444-054X. https://doi.org/10.24875/ciru.20001582.
Gangliocytic paragangliomas are infrequent neuroendocrine tumors, usually of benign course and in the vast majority without any symptoms reported. We present the case of a young, previously healthy patient, who consults for abdominal pain and upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Through an endoscopy of the upper digestive tract, a pedicle lesion is evidenced in the second portion of the duodenum. We decided to perform a medium laparotomy and duodenectomy with resection of pedicle duodenal tumor. The results of the histological and immunohistochemical study were compatible with a duodenal gangliocytic paraganglioma. After the procedure, the patient presents adequate recovery without evidence of recurrence in the follow-up.
