Résumé
Extra-adrenal pheochromocytoma is called paraganglioma. Paraganglioma near the ureterovesical junction can be confused with urothelial carcinoma in a ureterocele. Urinary metanephrine can be an indicator for bladder paraganglioma. Metaiodobenzylguanidine scintigraphy is an excellent method not only for distinguishing bladder paraganglioma from other submucosal mesenchymal tumors but also for detecting multifocal lesions. In the present case, we did not perform a preoperative metaiodobenzylguanidine scan because the patient was asymptomatic and urinary metanephrine was negative. Partial cystectomy with ureteroneocystostomy was performed for curative treatment because the tumor was very close to the ureteral orifice.
