Paraganglioma
A benign or malignant neoplasm arising from paraganglia located along the sympathetic or parasympathetic nerves. Infrequently, it may arise outside the usual distribution of the sympathetic and parasympathetic paraganglia. Tumors arising from the adrenal gland medulla are called pheochromocytomas. Morphologically, paragangliomas usually display a nesting (Zellballen) growth pattern. There are no reliable morphologic criteria to distinguish between benign and malignant paragangliomas. The only definitive indicator of malignancy is the presence of regional or distant metastases.

Doc Insights9 Likes25 AnswersWith advancements in medical technology, there will be a diminishing in the reliance on traditional stethoscopes. Expert predicts the analogue version—where doctors listen to the heart & lungs by placing a stethoscope probe in their ears & the chest piece on the patient—will face formidable competition from electronic, digital, & now AI-powered versions. AI supported stethoscope, record, & analyse sounds graphically & be transmitted via Bluetooth or an app. Do these advancements mean that the stethoscope is redundant as the first point of contact with a patient in coming time. What do you think about it?
