Abstract

Paragangliomas are extra-adrenal neuroendocrine neoplasms derived from neural crest precursors. These tumors rarely arise from the female genital tract. Vaginal paragangliomas are extremely rare. We describe a case of vaginal paraganglioma managed with minimally invasive surgical techniques.
