“…We extensively reviewed the English literature on this subject and report the largest analysis of pheochromocytomas involving the urinary bladder. Our study improves upon previous large reviews [5,84]. For example, Tsai et al includes one study dating back to 1911, and then eleven studies between 1989 and 2000 [5].…”

BackgroundPheochromocytoma (paraganglioma) of the urinary bladder is a rare tumor. Herein we sought to review the contemporary literature on pheochromocytomas of the urinary bladder in order to further illustrate the presentation, treatment options and outcomes of patients diagnosed with these tumors.MethodsA comprehensive review of the current literature was conducted according to the PRISMA guidelines by accessing the NCBI PubMed database and using the search terms “paraganglioma, pheochromocytoma, bladder.” This search resulted in the identification of 186 articles published between January 1980 and April 2012 of which 80 articles were ultimately included in our analysis.ResultsPheochromocytomas usually occurred in young adult Caucasians (mean age, 43.3 years; range,11–84 years). According to the literature, the most common symptoms and signs of pheochromocytomas of the urinary bladder were hypertension, headache, and hematuria. Of the 77 cases that commented on catecholamine production, 65 patients had biochemically functional tumors. Approximately 20% of patients were treated by transurethral resection alone, 70% by partial cystectomy and 10% by radical cystectomy. The 75 patients with follow-up information had a mean follow-up of 35 months. At the time of last follow-up, 15 (14.2%) had disease recurrence, 10 (9.4%) had metastasis, and 65 (61.3%) were alive.ConclusionsPheochromocytomas of the urinary bladder tend to be functional and occur mostly in young adult Caucasians. Patients with localized tumors have an extremely favorable prognosis and may be managed by less aggressive modalities, whereas patients with metastatic disease have a significant reduction in survival rates despite aggressive treatment.

“…It was estimated that ~3% of patients treated by the above therapies succumbed to their cancer. However, it is important to note that ≥20% of patients had recurrence or metastases at the last known follow-up (20,21). The present case report may be helpful to standardize the reporting guidelines of paraganglioma cases in order to better understand its natural progression and outcomes.…”

Abstract. Paraganglioma, also termed extra-adrenal pheochromocytoma, may be observed at the base of the skull and neck as well as within the mediastinum and periaortic region. The clinical symptoms of paraganglioma of the urinary bladder include intermittent hypertensive attacks, micturition, headaches and palpitations due to high catecholamine levels; these types of paragangliomas are extremely rare. However, certain bladder paragangliomas do not present with any of these symptoms; thus, surgeons are not pre-warned on how to prepare for their resection. Surgery to remove pheochromocytomas may therefore result in an intraoperative hypertensive crisis and increase the mortality rate. This infrequent type of paraganglioma is only recognized through histo logical examination following surgery. The current study reports the case of a 61-year-old male with urinary bladder paraganglioma. The patient presented with hypertension, which was controlled to within a normal range using diovan and norvasc treatment; in addition, the patient's blood pressure was not altered with urination or postural changes. The patient was not administered an α-blocking agent or a blood volume expander prior to the surgery, and during the partial cystectomy no hypertensive crisis occurred.

“…They can, however, arise in 10%–20% of the cases from sympathetic tissue outside the adrenals and are then called paragangliomas 1 2. Paragangliomas of the urinary bladder are very rare, representing 0.06% of bladder tumours 3. These are typically functional and commonly present with symptoms of paroxysmal hypertension, palpitations and micturition syncope while a proportion of cases present with non-specific symptoms of a bladder tumour such as painless haematuria, abdominal fullness and pain 4 5…”

Functioning metastatic paraganglioma of the urinary bladder in a 10-year-old child

et al. 2017

Paragangliomas of the urinary bladder are very rare tumours representing less than 1% of bladder tumours. Preoperative diagnosis is essential to avoid perioperative complications related to catecholamine release. A high index of suspicion should be maintained when the classical symptoms of voiding-related paroxysms of headache, palpitation and dizziness are present. We present a rare case of malignant paraganglioma of the urinary bladder in a 10-year-old boy. The patient had the classic presentation. We review the radiological diagnostic tools and findings of this rare entity.
