Abstract
Extraadrenal phoechromacytomas are also called paragangliomas that were firstly described by Zimmerman at 1953. Less than 1% of all paragangliomas are genitourinary paragangliomas. Bladder is the most affected organ in the urinary system also renal pelvis and ureter was less affected than bladder too. It was frequently occured 20-40 years age wo-men population.The symptoms of patients are related to cathecolamins that was secre-ted by tumour and the most of symptoms are hypertension, headache, hematuria and syncope/palpitation. In our case presentati-on, we aimed to discuss treatment of bladder paraganglioma that occured in 56 years age male patient with current literature.
