Parangliomas are rare and highly vascular tumors of neuroendocrine cell origin which are treated by complete surgical resection. Preoperative embolization to reduce perioperative bleeding complications, although described in paragangliomas of the neck and carotid body, has never before been described in the case of a mediastinal paraganglioma. The following is a presentation of such a case of mediastinal paraganglioma, in which embolization was used successfully before surgical resection.
