Paraganglioma: It really depends on location, do you have more details on the location of the lesion?

Thank
Depends: This would depend on the size of the lesion, the vascularity, and location at the skull base. In general, with a team of neurosurgeons and skull base surgeons, it may take a few hours to remove this.
