“…[3][4][5][6][7] Paragangliomas are widely dispersed collections of neural crest cells that arise in association with the segmental or collateral autonomic ganglia throughout the body. They originate mainly from the adrenal medulla, but extraadrenal paragangliomas may also arise from the chromaffin neural tissue of the carotid body, retroperitoneum, urinary bladder, and other locations.…”

“…1 The tumor may occur over a wide age range from childhood to old age and is found to have a similar male to female ratio in some series. 6,7 Cheng et al, who reviewed 16 cases diagnosed and treated at the Mayo Clinic between 1945 and 1998, reported a higher incidence of female patients with a male to female ratio of 1 to 3 and a higher occurrence in young adult women (mean age: 45 years). 11 Shono and Sakai 12 reported that the tumors occurred more often in females in their 20s and in males over 50 years old.…”

The case report of a 55-year-old woman with an incidentally diagnosed urinary paraganglioma of the bladder is presented. The patient had no irritative voiding symptoms, hematuria or hypertension. She was diagnosed to have an immobile solid mass on the left side neighboring the lower segment of the uterus. Transvaginal ultrasonography revealed a well-limited ovoid mass with solid and cystic areas adjacent to the urinary bladder and the uterus. Tumor markers were within normal range. Laparoscopy was performed for the treatment of the mass and complete excision of the cyst was accomplished. Frozen section was performed revealing a benign cystic structure but the identification of the origin was left to definitive histopathological examination which showed paraganglioma of the bladder. Immunohistochemically, the tumor cells were strongly positive for chromogranin A and synaptophysin and there was focal positiveness for neuron specific enolase although vimentin and cytokeratin were negative.

“…Ages at diagnosis in these three cases were 13, 35, and 31 years. Davaris et al 6 reported that the age at diagnosis in 87 cases of urinary bladder pheochromocytoma ranged from 10 to 78 years. Lack 12 reported that the age at diagnosis of urinary bladder paraganglioma ranged from 11 to 78 years (average 41 years).…”

“…Lack 12 reported that urinary bladder paraganglioma might protrude into the bladder lumen. Ochi et al , 5 Das et al , 7 Flanigan et al 8 and Deklerk et al 9 reported mucosal ulceration, and Piedrola et al 3 and Davaris et al 6 reported that mucosa showed no cellular atypia. Hamaguchi and Tsuchida, 2 Piedrola et al , 3 Grignon et al , 4 Das et al , 7 Flanigan et al , 8 Lack 12 and Murphy et al 13 reported that pheochromocytomas of the urinary bladder are located mainly in the submucosa.…”

Pheochromocytomas usually arise from the adrenal medulla but may also arise from the carotid body, the retroperitoneum, the urinary bladder, and other locations. We report three cases of pheochromocytoma of the urinary bladder with clinicopathological, immunohistochemical, flow cytometric, and ultrastructural findings. Case 1, a 13-year-old boy presented with hematuria. He underwent partial cystectomy, 31 years later he presented with a tumor in the thoracic vertebra. Case 2, a 35-year-old woman presented with headache, nausea, vomiting, palpitations, and diaphoresis on evacuation. She underwent total cystectomy and regional lymph adenectomy. She survived for 10 years without recurrence or metastasis; however, she died from another disease. Case 3, a 31-year-old man presented with dysuria. He underwent total cystectomy and regional lymph adenectomy. The tumor metastasized to the lymph nodes, and the patient died after 4 years. The urinary bladder tumors in these three cases protruded into the lumen and invaded deeper than the middle of the muscle layer. The tumor of the urinary bladder, metastatic lymph nodes, and thoracic vertebra showed alveolar and trabecular patterns, and tumor cells were surrounded by capillaries. The tumor cells were moderate in size with ovoid nuclei and abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm that contained acidophilic granules reactive to Grimelius stain. Vascular invasion was observed in cases 1 and 2. Immunohistochemically, tumor cells showed reactivity for chromogranin, Leu 7, and S-100 protein. In each of the three cases, the DNA ploidy pattern on flow cytometry was aneuploid. Ultrastructural examination revealed several neurosecretory granules, rough endoplasmic reticulum, and a few mitochondria within the cytoplasm. It is difficult to determine whether pheochromocytoma of the urinary bladder is malignant on the basis of histological, immunohistochemical, and flow cytometric findings. Long-term follow up is necessary.

“…Paragangliomas are sometimes accidental findings after radical cystectomy. The paragangliomas of the urinary bladder often present with hematuria and attacks of hypertension during micturition [2,17,19,59]. In almost 20% of cases they are multifocal intramural tumours of the urinary bladder wall.…”

Neuroendocrine carcinomas of the prostate and urinary bladder: a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge

This review addresses the various morphological, immunohistochemical and cell kinetic aspects of pure and mixed neuroendocrine carcinomas of the prostate and urinary bladder and of carcinomas with focal neuroendocrine differentiation. It is important that neuroendocrine tumours of the prostate and urinary bladder be clearly distinguished from their nonneuroendocrine counterparts because of differences in treatment and prognosis. In the case of high-grade neuroendocrine carcinomas, early diagnosis and initiation of appropriate chemotherapy may increase survival and potentially induce complete remission in individual cases.
