Extra-adrenal paragangliomas make up approximately ten per cent of all paragangliomas, with those occuning in the organ of Zuckerkandl being the most common We describe a case of paraganglioma in a 51-year-old woman with hypertension being present for 32 years. She suffered from abdominal mass, nausea, dizziness, emesis, headache, excessive sweating, palpitations, and back pain. An abdominal mass was diagnosed as a functional extra-abdominal paraganglioma by diagnostic imaging and biochemical tests. The mass was totally excised and her symptoms healed after the operation. Symptoms of tumors of the organ of Zuckerkandl are secondary to synthesis and release of excess catecholamines. This is a rare case of functional  <span style="font-size: 0.9em;">paraganglioma arising from the organs of Zuckerkandl with successful  </span>surgical removal and amelioration of hypertension. </p>}, number={008}, publisher={Kütahya Dumlupinar University}
