Abstract
- A 14-year-old girl presented with malignant hypertension. Physical examination and abdominal computerized tomography revealed a paraaortic mass. Urinary catecholamines, serum renin, and aldesterone levels were high. The mass was totally excised and a paraganglioma of the organ of Zuckerkandl was confirmed. The hypertension resolved after surgery.
