Abstract
Pheochromocytoma is a very rare neuroendocrine tumor usually located in one or both adrenal glands with an incidence of about 4 per 1,000,000 and about 1000 diagnosed per year. Pheochromocytomas can be located in extra-adrenal locations with about 1% being located in the urinary bladder.(1) We describe the presentation, diagnosis and treatment of one of these extremely rare tumors in the bladder.
