Abstract
Also called chemodectomas, glomic or neurochristopathic tumors, paragangliomas are second in frequency of all neurogenic tumors. They derive embryologically from neural crest cells. Almost half of them occur in the temporal bone, but they are often multicentric or associated with other neural crest tumors.
