Abstract:Objective: To investigate the disease characteristics, pathological characteristics, diagnosis and treatment of paraganglioma of urinary bladder (PUB). Methods: The clinical data of 7 PUB patients admitted to our hospital from November 2007 to December 2019 were collected. We retrospectively analyzed their clinical records, surgical records, pathological reports, and follow-up records. Results: There were 6 females and 1 male in this group. Seven patients had no clinical manifestations of post-urinary hypertension, palpitations, micturition syncope, and hematuria before operation. All were treated with surgical removal of tumor, including 4 cases of partial bladder resection and 3 cases of transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT). Seven patients had positive expression of neuroendocrine markers chromogranina (CgA), synaptophysin (Syn), CD56 and S-100 proteins after pathological immunohistochemical (IHC) staining, while epithelial markers such as cytokerins (CKs), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and other IHC staining markers were negative. After 11 months to 12 years of follow-up, 1 patient relapsed 5 years after TURBT and was again treated with TURBT. The remaining 6 patients had no recurrence and metastasis. Conclusion: PUB is clinically rare, often without obvious clinical symptoms, and is easily missed. Diagnosis mainly depends on ultrasound, CT enhanced scanning, cystoscopy and postoperative pathological IHC. Both partial cystectomy and TURBT are commonly used treatments. Long-term follow-up is recommended for patients with PUB.
