Abstract
A case of clinically malignant right carotid glomus paraganglioma, with lymph nodes and pulmonary metastasis, is reported. Histological, histochemical and ultrastructural features of the tumor are discussed. The authors emphasize the relative rarity of malignant paragangliomas and the difficulty to determine the malignancy of the neoplasm only on the basis of the histological examination.
