Paragangliomas are rare tumors of the mediastinum. Complete surgical resection is the only effective treatment modality, although it is challenging due to the location of the tumor around great vessels and hypervascularity characteristics of tumor. In this article, we report a 37-year-old female case with paraganglioma in the middle mediastinum detected incidentally by radiological imaging. The tumor was inactive; however, severe bleeding occurred in the initial diagnostic thoracotomy. The tumor was resected successfully after selective embolization. Following complete resection, the patient followed for five years with no recurrence.
