Abstract

Pheochromocytomas are tumors arising from catecholamine secreting cells of adrenal glands. Extra adrenal gland pheochromocytomas are called paragangliomas. They account for 15% of all pheochromocytomas. Paraganglioma arising in the urinary bladder is extremely rare accounting for 0.06% of all urinary bladder tumor cases. We present a case of a 55-year-old female patient who complained of pain in abdomen and intermittent haematuria subsequently. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) pelvis was done which gave the possibility of paraganglioma. An excision of bladder mass was done and sent for histopathology. On histopathology accompanied by immunohistochemistry, a final diagnosis of paraganglioma was given. The patient is on regular follow-up.
