Abstract

Retroperitoneal neuroendocrine tumours are exceptionally rare. The excision of tumours located in the renal hilum near the renal vessels can be challenging. We report a case of a paraganglioma located at the renal hilum which was excised successfully in a child who presented with abdominal pain, breathlessness, left varicocele and hypertension.
