An unusual cause of retrograde ejaculation and hypertension.
A 39-year-old man presented with a 1-year history of retrograde ejaculation and a 10-year history of drug-resistant hypertension. Diagnostic abdominal ultrasound revealed an open bladder neck during the filling phase and a retroperitoneal tumor. After surgical excision histology revealed an extra-adrenal pheochromocytoma, which should be included in the differential diagnosis of patients presenting with retrograde ejaculation and hypertension.
