Intestinal Gangliocytic Paraganglioma
A usually indolent, extra-adrenal paraganglioma affecting the intestine. Patients may present with gastrointestinal hemorrhage. Unlike the conventional paragangliomas, this tumor has a peculiar morphologic appearance; it consists of a mixture of epithelioid neuroendocrine cells, Schwann-like cells, and ganglion cell-like elements.
