Abstract

Purpose: Paraganglioma of the bladder is a rare neoplasm that usually presents with hypertension, headache and dizziness after micturition. Case Presentation: We present the case of a 22-year-old man with typical symptoms of bladder paraganglioma. We performed the first robot-assisted laparoscopic tumorectomy without opening of the bladder mucosa. Additionally, we give an overview of the literature on minimally invasive approaches for bladder paraganglioma. Conclusions: This article gives an overview of the symptoms, diagnostic tools and surgical treatment of bladder paraganglioma. It is a rare neoplasm that, however it has a typical presentation, can be easily missed based on patient history alone.
