Abstract: Urinary Bladder Paraganglioma is rare form of extra-adrenal pheochromocytoma, accounting for less than 0.05% of all bladder tumours, commonly presenting with painless hematuria, headache, palpitation and micturitional syncope. Missed diagnosis of this rare condition puts patient at considerable risk, precipitating intraoperative hypertensive crisis, due to catecholamine release triggered by handling of tumour. The purpose of our presentation is to stimulate the physicians dealing with cases of bladder tumors that, with the characters of bladder tumors mentioned in the article,one should entertain a differential diagnosis of Bladder Paraganglioma, investigate to confirm the diagnosis and take appropriate measures to avoid an intraoperative mishap. We report three cases of Urinary Bladder Paraganglioma managed at a tertiary care hospital and discuss clinical features, pathology and review the previously published literature.
