We report a case of urinary bladder pheochromocytoma in a normotensive 45-year-old female with lower urinary tract symptoms who presented with headache and palpitations after voiding. A bladder tumor was found on radiological imaging and cystoscopy. A pheochromocytoma was suspected by clinical presentation and cystoscopy and confirmed by histopathology examination following the removal of the mass. The clinical symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of bladder pheochromocytomas are reviewed.

Key-words:

urinary bladder - bladder neoplasm - pathology - pheochromocytoma - diagnosis - therapeutics - surgery
