[Primary malignant chemodectoma of lung (author's transl)]. 1979

H Eckert

Intrathoracic chemodectomas are usually localized in the mediastinum. Primary solitary chemodectomas of the lung are very sparse. All cases of primary lung chemodectomas are described as non malignant tumors in literature. The morphological (light microscopy, enzyme histochemistry and enzyme cytochemistry) changes of a malignant chemodectoma of lung with metastases in regionar lymph nodes are reported in detail.

D010236	Paraganglioma, Extra-Adrenal	A relatively rare, usually benign neoplasm originating in the chemoreceptor tissue of the CAROTID BODY; GLOMUS JUGULARE; GLOMUS TYMPANICUM; AORTIC BODIES; and the female genital tract. It consists histologically of rounded or ovoid hyperchromatic cells that tend to be grouped in an alveolus-like pattern within a scant to moderate amount of fibrous stroma and a few large thin-walled vascular channels.
