Pheochromocytoma are chromaffin cell-derived tumors that have an exceptionally high genetic predisposition. The presentation of extra-adrenal and pelvic paraganglioma (PGL) in children is uncommon. Due to the relative rarity, PGL tumors' presentation and disease behavior may vary. Genetic testing, imaging, and biochemical investigation are employed to diagnose PGL. Surgical resection with preoperative angioembolization has been practiced in alleviating the burden of torrential intraoperative bleeding.
