Paraganglioma of urinary bladder. Report of a very rare case with one year follow-up

Diagnosis of minor pelvis tumors is often very difficult and unclear. Paraganglioma is a very rare tumor; in addition perivesical localization is occasionally reported. This article covers a case of a 36-year old man with a perivesical tumor where his first symptom was acute abdominal pain. The patient underwent a laparotomy in the surgical department because of a major peritoneal bleeding. After further urological treatment, a perivesical tumor was resected. Histopathological research indicated a bladder's paraganglioma. Our report presents this unusual case including way of treatment, following laboratory and radiological diagnostics during one-year observation.
