Scand J Urol Nephrol. 1997 Oct;31(5):501-3. doi: 10.3109/00365599709030651.

Abstract

Only five cases of paraganglioma of the prostate have been reported hitherto. The tumours may be functional (phaeochromocytomas) or non-functional and benign or malignant. We present a sixth case--a non-functional, benign paraganglioma of the prostate--with a review of the literature.
