“…In our asymptomatic 7‐year‐old patient, it was an incidental finding. Similar cases of bladder phaeo‐ chromocytoma causing obstruction at the ureterovesical junction with hydronephrosis were reported in one child 4 and three adults, 7–9 except for one adult, the three other cases had hypertension. Differential diagnosis of a bladder mass are rhabdomyosarcoma, leiomyosarcoma, transitional cell carcinoma, neuroblastoma and metastatic lesions to the bladder.…”

Bladder phaeochromocytoma in a child is very rare. In the case presented here, it was an incidental finding in the youngest child reported in the literature. The phaeochromocytoma was located at the right ureterovesical junction causing obstruction, resulting in hydronephrosis. The dilemma in the diagnosis and management of this challenging condition is presented. The absence of typical symptoms of phaeochromocytoma is emphasized.

“…The presence of tumours in a ureterocele is extremely rare and only a few cases have been documented; these includepheochromocytoma (Cabanas et al . 1973) [ 5 ], leiomyoma (Sekar et al . 1980) [ 6 ], adenocarcinoma (Yenilmez et al ., 2007) [ 7 ], and urothelial carcinoma [ 8 – 16 ].…”

“…There are few reported cases of malignant tumours of the ureterocele, specifically urothelial carcinomas. To date, there is no standardised management protocol [ 5 – 16 ]. Here, we report on such a case, as well as data from the literature review, mainly focused on a diagnostic and therapeutic approach.…”

It is very uncommon for urothelial carcinoma to develop in an ureterocele. It is generally discovered in an imaging study or in connection with haematuria.We found very few reports in the literature. Here, we report on the case of a 71-year-old male who initially presented with haematuria and low back pain and who then underwent transurethral resection for an intraureterocele tumour. Pathology confirmed urothelial carcinoma.

“…The onset age is around 20-40 years old, and is more prevalent in women than in men [9]. On top of that, paraganglioma of ureteric origin is rarer, and only six cases around the world have been reported [1][2][3][4][5][6]. These cases are listed in Table 1.…”

“…Paraganglioma of urinary tract is rare, and it is reported to mostly originate from bladder, kidney and prostate [1]. Among these cases, the ureteral paraganglioma is even rarer, and only 6 cases have been reported [1][2][3][4][5][6]. When paraganglioma is suspected, the laboratory workup and imaging study will be considered to rule out this disease.…”

Gross hematuria as the presentation of ureteral paraganglioma: a case report and literature review

Background Paraganglioma of genitourinary tract is uncommon, and origin from ureter is even rarer. We aim to present a case of paraganglioma from ureter in a 48-year-old female patient, who presented with gross hematuria. Case presentation We present a 48-year-old female who complained of gross hematuria for one week. A left ureteral tumor was found by image study. However, hypertension was unexpectedly recorded during diagnostic ureteroscopy survey. Due to persisted gross hematuria and bladder tamponade, she underwent left nephroureterectomy with bladder cuff resection. Blood pressure surged again when the tumor was surgically approached. Ureteral paraganglioma was confirmed according to pathological report. After the surgery, the patient recovered well, and no more gross hematuria was noted. She is now under regular follow-up at our outpatient clinic. Conclusion Ureteral paraganglioma should be kept in mind not only when blood pressure fluctuates during operation, but also before we manipulate the ureteral tumor when gross hematuria is the only sign. Whenever the presumption of paraganglioma is raised, laboratory evaluation and anatomical or even functional imaging should be considered. The concomitant anesthesia consultation before the surgery should not be deferred, either.
