Bladder Paraganglioma
is a rare type of bladder tumor (0.06%). It is typically benign and the most common symptoms are hematuria, hypertension and
headache
. About 14% of these tumors are malign and consequently radio and chemoresistants. Therefore, surgery is the mainstay of treatment. As they are likely to recur and to metastize lifelong follow-up is required. The authors report a rare case of a 53 years old man with hematuria and a previous history of micturition syncope who was diagnosed with bladder lesion. During the transurethral ressection of bladder he became severely hypertensive. Plasma metanephrines, and urinary vanillylmandelic acid, were still high and the exams suggested residual tumor. The patient underwent radical cistoprostatectomy. After 4 years of follow-up the patient remains disease free.
