摘要
Vagal paragangliomas (VPs) are a rare subset of neuroendocrine tumour derived from paraganglia located in the head/neck that are usually indolent in nature. Typical clinical presentations include pulsatile tinnitus or hoarseness associated with a neck mass. Surgery and radiation therapy remain the primary treatment modalities but come with significant morbidity including cranial nerve damage. We describe a unique case of VP in which cough was the only presenting symptom, that was exacerbated by enlargement of the tumour. Symptoms improved following radiation treatment.
