Herein, we describe the case of a 27-year-old female presenting with paraganglioma of the anterior and middle mediastinum and bilateral pulmonary nodules. Treatment consisted of pulmonary resection by anterior bilateral thoracotomy and transverse sternotomy, in which the paraganglioma was excised with the aid of extracorporeal circulation. As neoadjuvant treatments, radiotherapy and chemotherapy were applied. Postoperative evolution was uneventful, and the patient was classified as asymptomatic after 14 months.
