Abstract

Pheochromocytoma is a rare neuroendocrine tumor that occurs in the urinary bladder. We reported a 56-year-old male patient with a history of bradycardia, dizziness, and hypertension provoked by micturition for 5 years. Magnetic resonance imaging discovered a 3.1 cm urinary bladder tumor over the right dome. High urinary catecholamines' level was also found. Robot-assisted laparoscopic partial cystectomy was performed smoothly without perioperative complications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
