Nonfunctional bladder paragangliomas may present clinical, radiology and pathological features similar to bladder cancer, so knowledge of this generally benign neuroendocrine neoplasm is of great importance to avoid misdiagnosis. We present the case of a patient with no clinical symptoms of paraganglioma and with radiological and cystoscopy examination results suggestive of urothelial carcinoma but with pathological diagnosis of paraganglioma.

Benign Glomus Tumor of the Urinary Bladder: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Int J Surg Pathol
December 2024
Department of Neurology, First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University, Kunming, Yunnan, China.
Article Synopsis
- * Imaging tests revealed a significant mass in the left bladder and a nonfunctional right kidney, leading to surgical removal of both the kidney and part of the bladder.
- * The final diagnosis was a bladder glomus tumor, and the patient remains healthy with no signs of recurrence after 15 months, underscoring the need for urologists to consider glomus tumors in their diagnostic process.
Long non-coding RNAs: regulators of autophagy and potential biomarkers in therapy resistance and urological cancers.

The non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) comprise a large part of human genome that mainly do not code for proteins. Although ncRNAs were first believed to be non-functional, the more investigations highlighted tthe possibility of ncRNAs in controlling vital biological processes. The length of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) exceeds 200 nucleotidesand can be present in nucleus and cytoplasm.

Introduction: Surgical resection by heminephrectomy is considered the preferred treatment for duplex kidneys with non-functioning moieties. Ureteral remnant may be ligated or left in situ to avoid the risk of injury to the healthy ipsilateral ureter; however, distal redundant ureter may sometimes cause long-term complications and require further reoperation. Upper pole heminephrectomy is a surgical procedure often performed to address various renal pathologies, such as duplex kidney or non-functioning upper renal moieties.

September 2024
Department of Urology, Lenox Hill Hospital, Northwell Health, New York, NY, USA.
Article Synopsis
- Extra-adrenal pheochromocytoma, specifically paraganglioma of the urinary bladder, is a rare and aggressive tumor, making up only 0.05% of bladder tumors; complete surgical resection is crucial for localized cases.
- This case discusses a 46-year-old male with a non-functional paraganglioma located at the bladder neck, highlighting the importance of using specific tools (like a 70-degree cystoscopic lens) for visualization during surgery.
- Surgical teams should conduct hemodynamic monitoring during procedures when encountering a golden-yellow mass, as it indicates potential paraganglioma, and conduct biochemical tests to determine if the tumor is producing catecholamines.
Persistent ureteric stump syndrome post ureteric re-implantation following impacted distal ureterolithiasis: Experience from tertiary hospital. Case report.
Int J Surg Case Rep

Department of Surgery, School of Medicine, Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.
Introduction And Importance: Ureteric stump syndrome [USS] is a series of febrile recurrent lower abdominal pain, urinary tract infections, and hematuria that sometimes present with empyema as a rare complication. The ureteric stump is left after ureteric re-implantation due to an impacted stone at the Vesical-ureteric junction [VUJ], or after nephrectomy of a non-functional kidney due to a distal stone; the ureteral stump forms a source of infection to the urinary bladder, in addition to long-term obstructive stones left at the ureteric stamp. This usually cause chronic irritation of the mucosa and potentially change to metaplasia, dysplasia and malignancy.
