Gangliozytisches Paragangliom – eine seltene Differenzialdiagnose eines submukösen duodenalen Tumors

Zusammenfassung

Wir berichten über einen 36-jährigen Patienten, bei dem im Rahmen der Abklärung einer oberen gastrointestinalen Blutung ein submuköser Tumor im Duodenum diagnostiziert wurde. Nach Ausschluss weiterer Tumormanifestationen erfolgte die komplette endoskopische Resektion. Histologisch fand sich ein hochdifferenziertes, gangliozytisches Paragangliom, eine äußerst seltene Form eines neuroendokrinen Tumors. Anhand des vorliegenden Artikels werden Epidemiologie, Diagnostik und Therapiemöglichkeiten dieser seltenen Tumorart diskutiert.

Abstract

We report on the case of a 36-year-old male patient who was found to have a submucosal duodenal tumour during the diagnostic work-up of gastrointestinal bleeding. After exclusion of other tumour manifestations complete endoscopic resection was performed. Histologically a gangliocytic paraganglioma was diagnosed, a very rare type of a duodenal neuroendocrine tumour. This case report discusses the epidemiology, diagnostic work-up and therapeutic options for this rare tumour type.
