Abstract

The authors report a case of 47 years old male who was treated for 1,5 year because of recurrent bleedings from upper GIT. Performed examinations showed the presence of retroperitoneal paraganglioma parasympaticum with multiple metastases in bones. A Zollinger-Ellison syndrome was suspected. The final correct diagnosis was established at last microscopically after surgical excision of the specimens.
