<abstract language="eng">Non-functioning paragangliomas are rare tumors. I describe a case of a 74-year-old woman who presented with worsening neck mass and subsequently discovered to have a non-functioning paraganglioma after surgical resection. These tumors are associated with paraneoplastic diseases including MEN Syndromes, Neurofibromatosis and Von Hippel Lindau. Patients should be referred for genetic counseling once diagnosis is established.</abstract>
