摘要
We report a case of a 41-year-old woman who presented with occasional hemoptysis and hoarseness. Imaging showed a mass primarily in the sphenoid sinus but also extending into the right posterior ethmoid sinus and nasopharynx. Histology showed this mass to be a paraganglioma. We describe its computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging findings, and we discuss the differential diagnosis and treatment. (c) 2007 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
