[A case of malignant pheochromocytoma of the urinary bladder].
A 31-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of miction pain and gross hematuria in August, 1988. Cystoscopic examination revealed a solid mass in the bladder. The histological diagnosis was pheochromocytoma of urinary bladder by biopsy. He had a history of syncope on urination several times. Abnormal elevation of serum noradrenaline was observed in hormonal studies and abnormal accumulation was seen in the bladder by 131I-MIBG scintigraphy. Total cystectomy, lymphadenectomy and urinary diversion were performed in November, 1988. Pathological diagnosis was pheochromocytoma of the urinary bladder with metastasis to both iliac lymph nodes.
