description Pheochromocytomas are tumors of the embryonic chromaffin cells, originating from the embryonic neural crest. The pheochromocytomas developing at extra-adrenal locations are termed paragangliomas, which are extremely rare and account for almost 0.06% of all bladder tumors. In this report, we present a 23-year-old woman who presented with a one-year history of repeated episodes of dizziness, hypertension, intermittent hematuria, and nausea/vomiting that occurred during urination and was operatively treated due to a diagnosis of paraganglioma of the urinary bladder.
