Abstract
Paragangliomas are uncommon neuroendocrine tumours arising from extra-adrenal autonomic paraganglia, and are closely related to phaeochromocytomas in function and cellular characteristics. We present a case of a 34-year-old man who presented to his endocrinologist with persistent tachycardia and mild hypertension, on a background of a 10 year history of frequent night sweats and nocturnal palpitations, and having previously being reassured by several general practitioners that his ‘screening bloods’ revealed no abnormality.
