Abstract

A Non-Functional Bladder Paragangliomas Occurrence after Trauma

Sumit Agarwal*

Paragangliomas are rare tumors that can be functional (secreting catecholamines) or non-functional (not secreting catecholamines). They account for less than 0.06% of all bladder cases of cancer. Catecholamine hypersecretion or the influence of the bulk causes symptoms. Paragangliomas are occasionally discovered by chance in asymptomatic patients' imaging exams. Histological features such as diffuse pattern of development, localized clear cells, necrosis, and even muscle invasion with cautery artefact might be mistaken for bladder cancer, especially in cases of non-functional Paragangliomas with no evident symptoms. Because each disease has a unique therapeutic approach, clinical suspicion and accurate diagnosis are critical. They present the case of a female patient with ultrasound suspicion of bladder cancer that had transurethral excision of the tumor and had Paragangliomas confirmed by anatomopathological and Immunohistochemically results.
