Introduction. Pheochromocytoma of the urinary bladder is a rare tumor and
presents less than 0.06% of all urinary bladder tumors. Case report. We
presented a 49-year-old female patient with a history of daily paroxysmal
hypertension accompanied with flushing of the face and upper chest,
palpitations and excessive sweating prior to micturition. Ultrasonography
reported a 3 cm bladder wall tumor. The 131I-metaiodobenzylguanidine
(131I-MIBG) scan showed a pathological isotope accumulation in the projection
of the bladder. The patient underwent a partial cystectomy. One year
following the operation the patient was normotensive and without recurrence.
Conclusion. The most efficient treatment option for bladder pheochromocytoma
is surgical resection. The most important fact in the diagnostics is
suspicion on this rare condition. |
