A Pathological Surprise in the Urinary Bladder

Abstract

Though urothelial tumours form a majority of Urinary Bladder neoplasms, occasional surprises do occur. Some of these do not have a characteristic presentation. They may be detected incidentally. Here we present a case of bladder paraganglioma which did not have the characteristic symptoms and signs of catecholamine excess. Hence the final pathological diagnosis was a pathological surprise.
