Laparoscopic Treatment of Hypertension After Micturition: Bladder Pheochromocytoma
نویسندگان
چکیده
Bladder pheochromocytomas are extremely rare and constitute less than 5% of bladder tumors. The initial symptoms of the patient are mostly nonspecific caused by hypertension. The postmicturition hypertensive crisis is the typical warning sign of this disease. In this article, we present a 29-year-old female having hypertensive attacks following micturition. Radiological imaging techniques revealed a 3 x 3 x 4-cm bladder tumor that was hormonally active. This is the first case reported of bladder pheochromocytoma that was laparoscopically treated without using the adjunct transurethral resection. The postoperative follow-up of the patient confirms the success of the surgical procedure.
