“…Paraganglia are composed of clusters of cells of neural crest origin and are highly vascular with numerous capillaries (McNicol 2010;Zak and Lawson 1982). They are found within the abdominal and thoracic cavities as well as in the head and neck region (McDonald and Blewett 1981;McNicol 2010;Zak and Lawson 1982). Paraganglia are composed predominantly of polygonal type I chief cells as well as spindyloid type II sustentacular cells (McNicol 2010;Zak and Lawson 1982).…”

Some paraganglia, mainly within the head and neck region, function as chemoreceptors that monitor and respond to changes in blood oxygen, carbon dioxide, and/or acid-base balance (McNicol 2010).…”

Another chemoreceptor paraganglion is located in the region of the aortic arch (aortic body; Zak and Lawson 1982).…”

The 2017 annual National Toxicology Program Satellite Symposium, entitled “Pathology Potpourri,” was held in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, at the Society of Toxicologic Pathology's (STP) 36th annual meeting. The goal of this symposium was to present and discuss challenging diagnostic pathology and/or nomenclature issues. This article presents summaries of the speakers' talks, along with select images that were used by the audience for voting and discussion. Various lesions and other topics covered during the symposium included renal papillary degeneration in perinatally-exposed animals; an atriocaval mesothelioma; an unusual presentation of an alveolar bronchiolar carcinoma; a paraganglioma of the Organ of Zuckerkandl, also called an extra adrenal pheochromocytoma; the use of human muscle samples to illustrate the challenges of manual scoring of fluorescent staining; intertubular spermatocytic seminomas; medical device pathology assessment and discussion of the approval process; collagen induced arthritis; incisor denticles; ameloblast degeneration and poorly mineralized enamel matrix; connective tissue paragangliomas; microcystin LR toxicity; perivascular mast cells in the forebrain thalamus unrelated to treatment; and two cases that provided a review of the International Harmonization of Nomenclature and Diagnostic Criteria (INHAND) bone nomenclature and recommended application of the terminology in routine nonclinical toxicity studies.

Head and Neck paragangliomas (HNPs) are tumors of the skull base which pose a challenge to surgeons due to the fact that these tumors are vascular, locally aggressive and involve important neurovascular structures like the jugular bulb, internal carotid artery, the facial and the lower cranial nerves. We have identified a set of HNPs that can be considered as complex cases based on certain clinical parameters. The identification of such highrisk complex cases is necessary for logical decision making, proper pre-operative planning and intraoperative management. Of a total of 284 HNPs, 66 were considered as complex cases. We did a retrospective review of these cases and analyzed the outcomes of these cases.

“…Paraganglia are a group of non-neural cells derived from the embryonic neural crest. Two types of paraganglia are well known; chromaffin or sympathetic paraganglia, which are made of chromaffin cells and their primary function is endocrinal; nonchromaffin or parasympathetic ganglia, which are made of glomus cells and are primarily responsible for chemoreceptor functions ( 1 ). Paraganglia contain tissues such as the adrenal medulla, carotid and aortic bodies, paraganglia in sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves and organs of Zuckerkandl.…”

Introduction:Paragangliomas are mostly localized in the adrenal medulla and they are usually pheochromocytomas, derived from the neural crest, but otherwise mesenteric paragangliomas are extremely rare tumors.Case Presentation:In this article we represent a 59-year-old female with an abdominal mass and pain due to mesenteric paraganglioma.Conclusions:Paragangliomas can occur as mesenteric tumors; usually, preoperative accurate diagnosis is not possible with imaging methods and precise diagnosis is possible after histological evaluation.
