Robotic assisted partial cystectomy with pelvic lymph node dissection for metastatic paraganglioma of the urinary bladder.
Paraganglioma of the urinary bladder is a rare tumor that often presents with hypertensive crisis during micturition.  We herein present the unusual case of a 45-year-old female with metastatic paraganglioma treated with robotic assisted partial cystectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy.  We review the literature regarding the evaluation and management of paraganglioma of the bladder.
