Synchronous presentation of cardiac and abdominal paragangliomas.

Abstract
A 28-year-old male presenting with a hypertensive crisis was found to have synchronous right atrial and retrocaval masses. Serum normetadrenaline was elevated in keeping with functional paragangliomas. After preoperative optimization both masses were successfully excised, including a saphenous vein graft to the right coronary artery. Serum catecholamines returned to the normal range postoperatively and all antihypertensive therapy was ceased.
