“…The former types are commonly linked with sharp headache, intermittent hypertensive attack, and palpitations owing to high levels of catecholamine, whereas the latter is asymptomatic (1). To our knowledge, there are few reports on renal paragangliomas, whereas only 2 cases are renal pelvic paragangliomas, including our case (4).…”

The patient was a 24-year-old man who had a left renal mass noted incidentally during a medical examination at the People's Hospital of China Three Gorges University (Yichang, China) in March 2016. Ultrasonography performed on the patient showed a left kidney mass (9.4 × 5.9 cm) located in the site of left renal pelvis with blood signs. Nevertheless, he had no history of headache, sweating, hypertension, or lumbar pain, and laboratory examinations included routine blood urinary, function of liver and kidney, and serum catecholamine indicated no abnormality. He was admitted.A plain computed tomography (CT) scan of the patient's upper abdomen demonstrated a heterogeneous mass (7.6 × 5.9 cm) in the left renal area involving the pelvicalyceal system (Fig. 1A). Contrast-enhanced CT results showed an increasing heterogeneous density of the mass, which compressed the left renal parenchyma with distinct border after injection of iodine-containing solution (Fig. 1B). Moreover, CT angiography indicated that the rates of both renal glomerular filtration and renal blood reperfusion were normal.Based on these tests, the patient was diagnosed with a left renal pelvic tumor provisionally and underwent left radical nephrectomy by transperitoneal laparotomy. At operation, the mass was at the middle and lower pole of the left kidney, involving the renal pelvis. Renal artery was then interim blocked and radical excision of the left kidney was done owing to the tumor being almost in the renal parenchyma. Notably, the cut section showed a chocolate brown part measuring 9 × 5 × 4.5 cm in the renal pelvis and another brown

“…To reach an accurate functional diagnosis (Table 1), both plasma and urine catecholamine level tests are required together with ¹²³I-or ¹³¹I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) scan while ultrasonography, CT and MRI are useful to provide morphological data about primary tumor and its metastases. It has to be pointed out that ¹³¹I-, instead of ¹²³I-, labeled MIBG, besides supplying the functional diagnosis, may be also used for targeted radionuclide therapy of sympathetic paragangliomas (10,12,13).…”

“…Previous preoperative both α1-and β-adrenergic blockade -respectively by administration of prazosin/ doxazosin and propranolol -and also plasma volume expansion with saline infusion, to prevent possible postoperative hypotension due to chronic volume contraction, the open/laparoscopic/robot-assisted radical excision of diseased kidney or, if it is possible, the only removal of the tumor (especially in case of renal hilar paraganglioma with compression-mediated renal artery stenosis) are suitable surgical procedures (12,14,15).…”

About urology pertinent neuroendocrine tumors, the literature has been enriched, in the last decade, with intriguing contributions concerning the urinary tract sympathetic paragangliomas, particularly renal pelvis, bladder, prostate or periprostatic locations. ParagangliomasParagangliomas,as neuroendocrine tumors arising from embryonic neural crest cells of either sympathetic or parasympathetic paraganglia -groups of cells near nervous system-derived respective ganglia -may be of two types, functional (sympathetic chromaffin paragangliomas/pheochromocytomas), as catecholamine-secreting tumors, hence appearing with typical symptoms such as paroxysmal hypertension,heart palpitations, headache attacks, sweating or, instead, parasympathetic non-functional neoplasias as lacking in chromaffin cells (1-5).Sympathetic functional paragangliomas -outside adrenal gland chromaffin cell-derived neoplasias -are commonly found in the abdomen, within shaped paraganglia, along the aorta lenght, also including the area between renal arteries and aortic-iliac bifurcation, besides the so-called or- Chir Vol. 37 -n. 2 -pp. 55-60 March-April 2016 Urology pertinent neuroendocrine tumors: focusing on renal pelvis, bladder, prostate located sympathetic functional paragangliomas C.
