The spectrum of neuroendocrine (NE) tumors in the genitourinary tract ranges from the aggressive large and small cell carcinomas to the often benign paraganglioma and well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumor (WD-NET). At least 15 pure lower urinary tract (LUT) WD-NETs have been described. Owing to the rarity of WD-NET in the LUT and the limited number of reported cases, a better definition of their biologic long-term behavior is warranted.

Purpose: As a rare bladder tumor, paraganglioma of the urinary bladder (PUB) is frequently misdiagnosed as bladder cancer, particularly for the non-functional type. To date, transurethral resection remains a controversial treatment for non-functional PUB. This study aimed to identify the clinical features, pathological characteristics, prognosis, and safe/effective treatment of non-functional PUB using transurethral resection of the bladder tumor (TURBT).

Background: Urinary bladder paraganglioma is a rare neoplasm that originates from embryonic rests of chromaffin cells in the sympathetic plexus of the detrusor muscle, and which occasionally can be observed in transurethral resection specimens. Artifactual changes due to the procedure may frequently simulate an advanced urothelial carcinoma.
Case: A 65-year-old woman presented with episodic macroscopic hematuria.
