JACC Case Rep. 2024 Aug 7;29(15):102435. doi: 10.1016/j.jaccas.2024.102435.

Abstract

Pheochromocytomas of the urinary bladder are rare tumors that represent <1% of all pheochromocytomas, and their main symptom is hypertension. In children, the evaluation of hypertension should focus on secondary causes, which involves ruling out catecholamine-secreting adrenal and extra-adrenal pheochromocytomas.

Keywords: genetic disorders; hypertension; pediatric surgery.
