- Abstract
Paragangliomas are rarely seen tumours. The etiology of thyroid paragangliomas remains unknown. They arise from Arteria Carotis Communis Bifurcation, Jugular foramen, Aortic arches and retroperitoneal and chemoreceptor organs. Tiroid paragangliomas are rarely seen and affect especially women who are 40-50. They usually arise from inferior larengeal paraganglion. There can be tiroid moduls carsinom or metastatic thyroid carsinom with them. They are generally asemtomatic and they are accepted and treated as nodular goitre. The diagnosis of thyroid paraganglioma is difficult to make both preoperatively and postoperatively.The definitive diagnosis of paraganglioma is made on the basis of the results of immunohistochemical staining. Surgical rejection and radiotherapy are enough for the local treatment of these tumours. There are some publications which claim chemotherapy could be efficient in the metastatic phenomena. In this paper, a tiroid paraganglioma phenomena was reported as a paraganglioma after operation with the reason of multinodular goitre.
