It has long been recognized that some cases are familial. The majority of these tumors are benign, and the only absolute criterion for malignancy is the presence of metastases at sites where chromaffin tissue is not usually found. Some tumors show gross local invasion and recurrence, which may indeed kill the patient, but this does not necessarily associate with metastatic potential. Here, we report a case of vertebral metastatic paraganglioma that occurred 19 months after the patient had undergone partial cystectomy for urinary bladder paraganglioma. We believe this to be a rarely reported bone metastasis of paraganglioma arising originally within the urinary bladder. In this report, we also provide a summary of the general characteristics of this disease, together with progress in diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis.展开更多

METHODS:All cases of paragangliomas diagnosed at the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery and Department of Pathology,West China Hospital,China were reviewed.The pathological documents were supplied by the Department of Pathology,West China Hospital,and other necessary data were extracted from the hospital records.The statistical analyses were performed by survival analysis(Kaplan-Meier method), descriptive statistical analyses and χ2 analysis. RESULTS:The neuroendocrine marker vimentin was found to be selectively expressed in the benign tumors, and there were significant differences in the expression of those markers in both benign and malignant tumors. The survival analysis revealed that survival correlated significantly with the malignancy,metastasis and nodal status. CONCLUSION:Vimentin may be useful in the differential diagnosis between malignant and benign tumors.The difference in the expression of this marker in the tumors could be a clue to the future clinical diagnosis.The malignancy,metastasis and the nodal status may predict the prognosis of this disease.展开更多
