Dopo 41 anni e 5 mesi, nel maggio 2006 la magistratura di Trento ha riconosciuto l'esistenza e la gravità di quella malattia rara che nessuna altra istituzione o persona singola della provincia di Trento ancora mi riconosce, e per negare la quale mi perseguita.  Natale Marzari

PARAGANGLIOMI

DESCRIZIONE: Paragangliomas, also referred to as 'glomus body tumors,' are tumors derived from paraganglia located throughout the body. Nonchromaffin types primarily serve as chemoreceptors (hence, the tumor name 'chemodectomas') and are located in the head and neck region (i.e., carotid body, jugular, vagal, and tympanic regions), whereas chromaffin types have endocrine activity, conventionally referred to as 'pheochromocytomas,' and are usually located below the head and neck (i.e., adrenal medulla and pre- and paravertebral thoracoabdominal regions). PGL can manifest as nonchromaffin head and neck tumors only, adrenal and/or extraadrenal pheochromocytomas only, or a combination of the 2 types of tumors (Baysal, 2002; Neumann et al., 2004).

The triad of gastric leiomyosarcoma, pulmonary chondroma, and extraadrenal paraganglioma constitutes a syndrome that occurs mainly in young women and is known as the Carney triad (604287). This triad is not to be confused with the other Carney syndrome of myxoma, spotty pigmentation, and endocrinopathy (160980).
