Non-Functional Paraganglioma of the Urinary Bladder: A Rare Cause of Bladder Tumor. [PDF]

While most are functional and associated with catecholamine excess, approximately 15% are non‐functional, often presenting asymptomatically and discovered incidentally.

AbstractThe clinical, angiographic, and anatomical features of an uncommon primary cardiac tumor, a paraganglioma, are presented. The angiographic appearance appears unique. These tumors are slow growing and troublesome primarily because of their firm adherence to underlying cardiac structures. Treatment is complete surgical excision.
