Abstract:
Two patients with vesical pheochromocytoma are presented with a review of the literature. Imaging modalities for localizing extra-adrenal pheochromocytomas are reviewed with an overview of the commonly accepted treatment options. Successful treatment of this lesion requires a high index of suspicion based upon the patient's symptom complex, allowing preoperative preparation prior to surgical manipulation.
