They can be either functional if they secrete catecholamine or non-functional. If tumour is functional, the diagnosis of paragangliomas can be made easily even before surgery. We present a case of retroperitoneal paraganglioma in a 40-year-old female diagnosed initially as pancreatic lesion on imaging techniques.However, sudden fluctuations in blood pressure levels upon manipulation of the mass were noticed intra-operatively. Then, paraganglioma was suspected, and it was confirmed as retroperitoneal paraganglioma on histopathological examination.</Abstract> <AbstractLanguage>English</AbstractLanguage> <Keywords>Abdominal pain, Retroperitoneum, Primary paraganglioma</Keywords> <URLs> <Abstract>https://njbms.in/ubijournal-v1copy/journals/abstract.php?article_id=1484&title=PRIMARY RETROPERITONEAL PARAGANGLIOMA SIMULATING PANCREATIC NEOPLASM</Abstract> </URLs> <References> <ReferencesarticleTitle>References</ReferencesarticleTitle> <ReferencesfirstPage>16</ReferencesfirstPage> <ReferenceslastPage>19</ReferenceslastPage> <References/> </References> </Journal> </Article> </ArticleSet>
