Abstract
Multiple paragangliomas are rare neuroendocrine tumours, often associated with a family history, whose management remains complex. We report the case of a 30-year-old female patient presenting with recent arterial hypertension and a left lateral cervical mass. Imaging performed as part of the extension assessment revealed a carotid paraganglioma associated with several retroperitoneal lesions, confirmed by functional imaging and biological tests revealing catecholamine hypersecretion. Initial medical management was initiated prior to multidisciplinary therapeutic discussion. This case highlights the importance of a personalised approach integrating multimodal imaging, biological assessment and genetic analysis to optimise diagnosis, treatment and long-term follow-up.
