Abstract
We describe the case of primary pulmonary paraganglioma in a 37-year-old woman who presented recurrent, severe cough. Computed tomography revealed a lobulated inhomogeneous enhanced mass with endobronchial protruding lesion suspected to be lung neoplasm, located in the upper lobe of the left lung. Bronchoscopic biopsy showed chronic inflammation with granulation tissue which was not in accord with the radiologic findings. Subsequently, a left lower sleeve lobectomy was peformed. Histological analysis of the resected tumor proved to be compatible with pulmonary paraganglioma. Primary pulmonary paragangliomas are very uncommon tumors. So we report this case with literature review.
