We present a case of non-functioning malignant paraganglioma of the abdomen with cervical lymph node metastases. At laparotomy the tumor was considered unresectable. The patient received palliative radiation therapy and died 3 months later from disseminated disease. We discuss the diagnostic approach and the therapeutic options.
