The majority of extra-adrenal tumors occur intra-abdominally along the sympathetic chain. However, they may also occur in the urinary tract, including the urinary bladder. Materials and methods: In this study, we report a clinical series of six patients diagnosed with bladder paragangliomas in our hospital over the past two decades, and review the literature regarding this unusual disease. Results: Among the six cases, two were male and four were female. The most common presentation was painless gross hematuria, with five of the six patients (83.3%) having this chief complaint. Two patients presented with hypertension and one with palpitations. Two had malignant bladder paragangliomas, and one died within one year after the diagnosis. Four patients received transurethral resection of the bladder tumors, and one patient developed tumor recurrence within one year of follow-up. Conclusion: Bladder paraganglioma is an extremely rare tumor with a high recurrence rate, and the most common presenting symptom in our series was painless gross hematuria. Large, polypoid, and multiple tumors indicate malignancy. ? 2015. |
