Popis: Bladder pheochromocytomas are rare catecholamine-secreting tumours of chromaffin cells. Sympathetic system stimulation due to Catecholamine over secretion during micturation is the most common presentation. Unsuspected bladder pheochromocytoma can result in hypertensive crisis during transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT). In contrast to the urothelial tumours, bladder pheochromocytomas are hypervascular on enhanced CT scan. In this article we report a case of pheochromocytoma managed successfully by TURBT and followed up for 1 year.
