case_images: The abdominal CT scan was suggestive of a paraganglioma (Figures 1-3). 24-hour urine normetanephrine was markedly elevated: 1695.34 mcg/24 h (100-500) while urine metanephrine was within the reference range: 105.11 mcg/24 h (50-250).
case_images: Contrast-enhanced coronal reformatted computed tomography of the abdomen. The mass (depicted by the blue arrow) is slightly to the right of the midline.
