“…The onset age is around 20-40 years old, and is more prevalent in women than in men [9]. On top of that, paraganglioma of ureteric origin is rarer, and only six cases around the world have been reported [1][2][3][4][5][6]. These cases are listed in Table 1.…”

“…Paraganglioma of urinary tract is rare, and it is reported to mostly originate from bladder, kidney and prostate [1]. Among these cases, the ureteral paraganglioma is even rarer, and only 6 cases have been reported [1][2][3][4][5][6]. When paraganglioma is suspected, the laboratory workup and imaging study will be considered to rule out this disease.…”

Background Paraganglioma of genitourinary tract is uncommon, and origin from ureter is even rarer. We aim to present a case of paraganglioma from ureter in a 48-year-old female patient, who presented with gross hematuria. Case presentation We present a 48-year-old female who complained of gross hematuria for one week. A left ureteral tumor was found by image study. However, hypertension was unexpectedly recorded during diagnostic ureteroscopy survey. Due to persisted gross hematuria and bladder tamponade, she underwent left nephroureterectomy with bladder cuff resection. Blood pressure surged again when the tumor was surgically approached. Ureteral paraganglioma was confirmed according to pathological report. After the surgery, the patient recovered well, and no more gross hematuria was noted. She is now under regular follow-up at our outpatient clinic. Conclusion Ureteral paraganglioma should be kept in mind not only when blood pressure fluctuates during operation, but also before we manipulate the ureteral tumor when gross hematuria is the only sign. Whenever the presumption of paraganglioma is raised, laboratory evaluation and anatomical or even functional imaging should be considered. The concomitant anesthesia consultation before the surgery should not be deferred, either.

“…[6][7][8][9][10][11] In the English literature, we found 11 case reports of primary ureteric paraganglioma to date (Table 2). [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] The first case of paraganglioma of the ureter was described by Allen et al in 1970 in which the lesion was located in the upper third of the ureter. 12 The ages of patients ranged from 8 to 60 years, with an almost equal preponderance in both sexes.…”

Paragangliomas or extra adrenal pheochromocytoma of the genitourinary tract are infrequent and arise from chromaffin cells of the autonomic nervous system. They have been described in the kidney, bladder, prostate, urethra and spermatic cord. However, the occurrence of paragangliomas in the ureter is very unusual. We present one such case in a patient who presented with signs and symptoms of pelvi-ureteric junction obstruction, wherein the initial clinical and imaging findings were deceptive. The patient underwent right-sided open end-to-end uretero-ureterostomy with excision of the strictured segment. Histopathological examination of excised tissue revealed a tumour with clear cell morphology, and in conjunction with immunohistochemistry a final diagnosis of paraganglioma of the ureter was rendered. The case is discussed here with differential diagnosis in the context of its location.
