Bladder pheochromocytomas are rare catecholamine-secreting tumours of chromaffin cells. Sympathetic system stimulation due to Catecholamine over secretion during micturation is the most common presentation. Unsuspected bladder pheochromocytoma can result in hypertensive crisis during transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT). In contrast to the urothelial tumours, bladder pheochromocytomas are hypervascular on enhanced CT scan. In this article we report a case of pheochromocytoma managed successfully by TURBT and followed up for 1 year.
膀胱嗜铬细胞瘤是一种罕见的嗜铬细胞分泌儿茶酚胺的肿瘤。排尿期间儿茶酚胺分泌过多导致交感神经系统受刺激是最常见的表现。未被怀疑的膀胱嗜铬细胞瘤可在经尿道膀胱肿瘤电切术（TURBT）期间引发高血压危象。与尿路上皮肿瘤不同，膀胱嗜铬细胞瘤在增强CT扫描上表现为血管丰富。在本文中，我们报告了一例经TURBT成功治疗并随访1年的嗜铬细胞瘤病例。
