Ectopic pheochromocytomas, also called paragangliomas, are defined as catecholamine -secreting tumors, which develop outside the adrenal medulla. Pheochromocytomas of the urinary tract represent less than 1% of all paragangliomas and are most commonly located in the bladder. Nevertheless, prostatic pheochromocytoma is an extremely rare clinical entity and only a few cases have been reported in the medical literature. Herein, we report a case of ectopic pheochromocytoma arising from the prostate, revealing with hypertensive crisis occurring immediately after ejaculation.
异位嗜铬细胞瘤，也称为副神经节瘤，定义为分泌儿茶酚胺的肿瘤，发生于肾上腺髓质之外。尿路嗜铬细胞瘤占所有副神经节瘤的比例不到1%，最常见于膀胱。然而，前列腺嗜铬细胞瘤是一种极其罕见的临床实体，医学文献中仅报道过少数病例。在此，我们报告一例起源于前列腺的异位嗜铬细胞瘤病例，该病例在射精后立即出现高血压危象而得以确诊。
