Author ProfileAbstract
Cardiac paragangliomas are extremely rare cardiac masses. Our patient
presented with angina secondary to coronary atherosclerosis and was
incidentally found to have a large cardiac mass on coronary angiography.
He underwent a full imaging workup and ultimately excision of the mass.
Final pathology demonstrated paraganglioma. This case illustrates the
presentation, workup, and definitive treatment of this rare tumor.
