title: A clinical diagnosis of urinary bladder (extra-adrenal) phaeochromocytoma.
abstract: Urinary bladder (extra-adrenal) pheochromocytoma is a catecholamine-producing tumor that arises from chromaffin cells in the extra-adrenal paraganglion system of the urinary bladder. The symptoms and signs result from the release of epinephrine and/or non-epinephrine, which is more prominent during micturition. The most serious consequences of the disease are paroxysmal hypertension during micturition and malignant degeneration. Thus, proper treatment is mandatory.
