Abstract
A case of glomus jugulare tumor secreting norepinephrine and epinephrine is reported. Further support is given to the neuroectodermal origin and to the embryological similarity to the adrenal medulla. The importance of urinary catecholamine determination in all patients suspected of having a paraganglioma is stressed. Venous sampling for plasma catecholamine determination at the time of angiography may help to localize the tumor and to avoid exploratory laparotomy.
