[Pheochromocytoma with multiple localizations manifested by a hemorrhagic bladder tumor].
Pheochromocytoma is an endocrine tumor derived from neuroectodermal tissue. Pheochromocytomas usually arises in the adrenal glands but may develop in other organs. We report a case of pheochromocytoma of the bladder with hematuria as the presenting symptom. This tumor was removed by partial cystectomy. Following this procedure, biologic disorders persisted (catecholamines, vandylmandelic acid and metanephrines) leading to the diagnosis of an adrenal pheochromocytoma. The patient recovered after removal of the adrenal tumor. Discussion, review of the literature and bibliography.
