Abstract

Paraganglioma of the urinary bladder (PUB) is rarely encountered. We report a case of a 48-year-old woman who presented with hematuria and hypertension. Computed tomography revealed a 3cm mass into urinary. Transurethral resection of the mass has instantly produced a hypertensive peak leading to an interruption of operation. Pathology of the specimen found a pheochromocytoma. Hormonal evaluation showed a normal level of plasmatic and urinary metanephrin. Metastatic workup was negative. MIBG scan showed an increased localized activity in the bladder. After medical preparation, a complete transurethral resection of the tumor was performed. The patient has been disease-free for 9 months.
