DUODENAL PARAGANGLIOMA Figure 9-33 DUODENAL PARAGANGLIOMA A: This tumor was initially interpreted as an epithelial intestinal NET. However, it was negative for keratins and expressed paraganglioma markers. The absence of keratins also weighed against a diagnosis of composite gangliocytoma More about this image found in DUODENAL PARAGANGLIOMA A: This tumor was initially interpreted as an epith...
