[Bladder paraganglioma (pheochromocytoma): report of a new case].
The authors report one case of vesical paraganglioma, not suspected in a 50-years-old female patient who presented gross hematuria as only symptom. The patient was not hypertensive. Radiologic and endoscopic investigations revealed a trigonal submucosal tumour. Complete transurethral resection of the tumor was performed with no intraoperative complications. The histopathological diagnosis indicated pheochromocytoma. Blood pressure was stable. There has been no recurrence for 18 months after transurethral resection.
