Pheochromocytoma of the urinary bladder is rare. We have experienced a case of unexpected pheochromocytoma of the urinary bladder in a 45-year-old female. An ultrasonographic, computed tomography scan and cystoscopic examination showed a submucosal bladder mass. After transurethral resection of bladder tumour was performed, the bladder mass was confirmed as pheochromocytoma by a pathologist. After surgery, the patient underwent a subsequent pelvic magnetic resonance imaging, positron emission tomography and I(131)-methyliodobenzylguanidine (I(131)-MIBG). An image study showed no residual tumour sites and no lymphatic metastasis. The patient has had no tumour recurrence and no voiding symptoms 3 years after the surgery.
膀胱嗜铬细胞瘤罕见。我们遇到一例45岁女性意外发生的膀胱嗜铬细胞瘤。超声、计算机断层扫描和膀胱镜检查显示膀胱黏膜下肿块。经尿道膀胱肿瘤切除术后，病理学家确诊该膀胱肿块为嗜铬细胞瘤。术后，患者接受了后续的盆腔磁共振成像、正电子发射断层扫描和I（131）-间碘苄胍（I（131）-MIBG）检查。影像学检查未发现残留肿瘤部位及淋巴结转移。术后3年，患者无肿瘤复发，无排尿症状。
