title: [Transurethral enucleation of bladder paraganglioma].
abstract: Paraganglioma of the urinary bladder is a rare neoplasm that derives from ganglion cells located in the bladder wall and may morphologically simulate a urothelial carcinoma. The authors present the case of a vesical paraganglioma incidentally detected by ultrasound, and entirely removed by transurethral approach from detrusorial wall. Conventional approaches include surgery (partial cystectomy) or laparoscopic procedures, with inspection by transurethral endoscopy; in this case we wanted to avoid the combined approach considering the lesion diameter and the possibility of an easy removal.
