Abstract

We report a case of a 48 -year-old female with an atypical bladder tumor. The patient has a history of familial paraganglioma. A catecholamine releasing bladder tumor could cause an adrenal crisis with sudden hypertension during surgery. Therefore, the catecholamine receptors were blocked prior to the resection of the bladder tumor. A transurethral resection of an 1 cm large bladder tumor was performed. Pathological examination confirmed the diagnosis; it indeed turned out to be a bladder pheochromocytoma.
