Article information
El desarrollo del conocimiento de los paragangliomas ha ido inexorablemente unido al desarrollo de la medicina en todos sus campos. Tanto el propio conocimiento de las enfermedades como la mejora técnica en el diagnóstico han servido, a lo largo de la historia, para llegar a entender esta patología, que presenta, por otra parte, interrogantes sin resolver. Desde el siglo XVIII hasta el siglo Xxi se han ido sucediendo acontecimientos, a veces ocasionales y a veces profundamente buscados, que han ido revelando cómo es esta patología, desde la descripción de la enfermedad hasta el diagnóstico genético. Su incidencia no es elevada pero, a pesar de ello, su variabilidad en cuanto a localización, formas de presentación, posibilidad de metastatizar o su componente hereditario está perfectamente estudiada.

Historia
Epidemiología
The development of knowledge of paragangliomas has been inextricably linked to the development of all fields of medicine. Throughout history, both knowledge of diseases and technical improvements in diagnosis have served to understand these tumors, although unanswered questions remain. From the XVIII century to the Xxi century events ¿sometimes unexpected and other times intensely sought¿ have occurred that have helped to identify the characteristics of these tumors. These events have ranged from description of paragangliomas to their genetic diagnosis. The incidence of paragangliomas is not high. Nevertheless, the variability of these tumors in terms of their localization, forms of presentation, possibilities of metastasis or their hereditary component has been well characterized.
