Abstract

A 62 years old hypertensive lady was incidentally detected to have a paravesical mass during evaluation of upper abdominal pain. Imaging and cystoscopy revealed extramucosal mass lesion in the dome of the bladder. She underwent partial cystectomy and intraoperatively had hypertensive crisis with features of cardiac ischemia. She was resuscitated and mass was completely excised. Her postoperative period was uneventful. The histopathology revealed paraganglioma of the bladder. This case report is to emphasize the need for active intraoperative monitoring during paravesical mass excision, especially in hypertensives even if they are nonfunctional.
