Bladder phaeochromocytoma is a rare tumor. Surgical removal via partial cystectomy offers effective treatment with symptom resolution, but long-term surveillance is crucial due to potential recurrence.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Endocrinology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Phæochromocytoma, a rare neuroendocrine tumor, typically arises in the adrenal medulla.
  • Bladder phæochromocytoma is an exceptionally rare variant, presenting unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.

Observation:

  • A 45-year-old patient experienced paroxysmal symptoms including headaches, palpitations, tinnitus, and sweating post-micturition.
  • Imaging studies (ultrasonography, IVU, MRI) revealed a 2 cm bladder dome tumor, leading to a suspected diagnosis of bladder phæochromocytoma.

Findings:

  • Histological examination confirmed bladder phæochromocytoma post-partial cystectomy.
  • The patient experienced complete symptom resolution and an uneventful recovery with 28 months of follow-up.

Implications:

  • Partial cystectomy is an effective treatment for bladder phæochromocytoma, mirroring management of other phæochromocytoma sites.
  • Long-term surveillance is essential due to reported late recurrences or metastases (20-40 years post-treatment).
