“… 4 Yuan et al reported that functional bladder paraganglioma with endocrine activity were 28.6% in tumors <3 cm in diameter and 78% in tumors >3 cm, suggesting that larger tumors may be functional bladder paragangliomas. 5 However, about 10% of functional bladder paraganglioma with endocrine activity do not show symptoms. 2 It has been reported that 38.9% of patients with bladder paraganglioma were diagnosed preoperatively in Japan.…”

Bladder paraganglioma: A case of acute respiratory distress syndrome triggered by large bladder tumor transurethral resection with mild symptoms and atypical imaging

Introduction Bladder paraganglioma is exceedingly rare, accounting for <0.05% of bladder tumors. This is a case of paraganglioma with no symptom other than palpitations during urination, with atypical imaging, resulting in acute respiratory distress syndrome after transurethral resection of the bladder tumor. Case presentation A 46‐year‐old man underwent transurethral resection of the bladder tumor for a bladder tumor 61 × 52 mm in size on contrast‐enhanced computed tomography. The patient only had micturition attacks and was suspected to have urothelial carcinoma on magnetic resonance imaging. The patient had acute respiratory distress syndrome after the operation which improved conservatively. The 123 Iodine metaiodobenzylguanidine scintigraphy, urinalysis, and pathological examination revealed bladder paraganglioma. Robot‐assisted radical cystectomy and ileal neobladder reconstruction were performed. Conclusion This study reported bladder paraganglioma with no symptoms other than micturition attacks in which acute respiratory distress syndrome occurred after transurethral resection of the bladder tumor.

“…Paraganglioma of the bladder is an exceedingly rare pheochromocytoma arising outside the adrenal gland, which rarely develops in the bladder [10]. It constitutes less than 6% of all paragangliomas and 0.06% of all primary bladder tumors [16,17]. It has a predilection age of 30-50 years, with no sex differences [17].…”

“…A characteristic 'micturition attack, ' such as elevated blood pressure, headache, or syncope during micturition, occurs in 50% of patients due to catecholamine release. Functional paraganglioma should be considered when the tumor is > 3 cm [16]. Most are sporadic but can also occur due to hereditary syndromes such as neurofibromatosis, von Hippel-Lindau syndrome, and Sturge-Weber syndrome [10].…”

Background Urinary bladder tumors are the most common type of tumors detected in patients with gross hematuria. Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) is an accurate method for detecting bladder lesions. This review aims to describe the features of MDCT and the possible values for distinguishing these lesions in the bladder. Main body In this review, we discuss the role of MDCT in the evaluation of patients with bladder cancer and describe a broad spectrum of bladder lesions, including malignant bladder lesions beyond bladder cancer, benign bladder lesions, and diffuse bladder wall thickening. Short conclusion Familiarity with the clinical presentations and imaging features of bladder lesions can lead to more accurate diagnosis and appropriate management.
