AB Paragangliomas, as well as phaeochromocytomas, are vascular neuroendocrine lesions that might be encountered between neck and pelvis. In certain cases, a preoperative diagnosis is difficult to be established, so resection might be needed whenever a suspect mass is discovered at the imaging studies. Moreover, there are cases in which resection and reconstruction of an important vascular structure might be imposed. In this case report a 59-year-old patient was investigated for upper abdominal pain with postprandial features and was diagnosed with a retroperitoneal tumor of 4/6/7cm invading the celiac trunk. The tumor was successfully resected and the common hepatic artery was reinserted in the celiac stump.
