A urinalysis revealed elevated metanephrines, and colonoscopy identified an extrinsic sigmoid stricture. CT and MRI showed a presacral mass infiltrating the sigma. Scintigraphy and SPECT ruled out a diagnosis of paraganglioma. Based on these findings, the patient was proposed to undergo surgery.\nNew comment\nComments\nNo comments for this article\nReferences\n1. Hoang CD, Boettcher AK, Jessurun J, et al.
