Overview
Paraganglioma may be classified into several subtypes based on the site of origin and having a neural cell line.
Classification
According to the World Health Organization, paragangliomas are classified as having a neural cell line. In the categorization proposed by Wick, the paragangliomas belong to Group II.
Paragangliomas are also described by their site of origin and are often given special names:
- Carotid paragangliomas
- Glomus tympanicum and Glomus jugulare paragangliomas
- Vagal paragangliomas
- Other sites such as larynx, nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses, thyroid gland, thoracic inlet, as well as the bladder in extremely rare cases.
