Abstract

A unique observation of the successful complex treatment of a rare and clinically complex metastatic mediastinal paraganglioma is presented. It has been shown that neoadjuvant intra-arterial regional chemotherapy with the subsequent surgical removal of the tumor can be an effective method of choosing treatment for malignant metastatic mediastinal paraganglioma.
