Abstract:
A patient was admitted to hospital because of haematuria. A papillomatous bladder tumor was removed. Histological examination revealed a phaeochromocytoma. Fourteen days postoperatively the urinary excretion rates of catecholamines were elevated but normalized afterwards. Abdominal computed tomography and metaiodobenzylguanidine scintigraphy were normal. No hypertension or characteristic micturitional attacks preceded removal of the tumor.
