Incidental left paraaortic mass in a patient with gall bladder adenocarcinoma: A diagnostic challenge by Manali Bhatta, Sharma Paudel, Ongden Yonjen Tamang, Prajwal Dahal, Santosh Shrestha, Sabina Parajuli

“…Incidental adrenal masses are frequently detected due to the extensive use of cross-sectional imaging, with about 3% to 7% of adults estimated to have them. Paragangliomas and pheochromocytomas (PPGL), rare tumors originating from paraganglia tissues, including the adrenal medulla, continue to be imaging mimics, necessitating a multimodal approach for accurate diagnosis. …”
