case_images: Characteristic splaying of the carotid artery and internal jugular vein (Figure 1), as well as typical contrast enhancement with flow voids suggested a vagal paraganglioma (VPG) with a less likely differential diagnosis of schwannoma.
case_images: Coronal MRI short tau inversion-recovery sequence (STIR) demonstrating a right-sided carotid space mass of intermediate low signal (white asterisk) with an abnormal lymph node (red arrow) showing signal intensity similar to the mass. A contralateral normal lymph node is shown for comparison (blue arrowhead).

case_images: In retrospect, these nodes had similar signals and enhancement as the primary tumour (Figure 2).

case_images: CT suggested soft tissue recurrence lateral to the mandible as well as an enlarged left level 1b submandibular node with heterogeneous internal density (Figure 3).

case_images: Coronal T1 weighted fat-saturated contras-enhanced image shows an enhancing olfactory neuroblastoma in the inferolateral wall of the right maxillary sinus (white arrows).

case_images: Her initial MRI demonstrated the primary tumour as a large, destructive mass in the right maxillary sinus (Figure 4).
case_images: Axial CT with contrast demonstrating abnormal, hyperenhancing right levels 1B and 2 lymphadenopathy (white arrows).

case_images: Restaging CT scan of the neck at 12 months showed hyperenhancing cervical lymphadenopathy (Figure 5).
