Extraadrenal pheochromocytoma presenting with severe hematuria and postmicturition cephalgia, a case report of a rare bladder tumor entity

Abstract

Paraganglioma (PGL) of the urinary bladder are a very rare tumor entity. Treatment of a PGL requires a multidisciplinary approach. We report on a case of a malignant pheochromocytoma (PHEO) of the bladder in a male adult due to a succinate dehydrogenase B (SDHB) subunit gene mutation where a partial cystectomy was perfomed after preoperative alpha blocking.
