Abstract: Ga DOTATATE imaging. She was started on phenoxybenzamine to control her blood pressure prior to surgery. She underwent a successful robotic partial cystectomy with no complications. After surgery, she remained symptom-free. Bladder paragangliomas are rare neuroendocrine tumors of the bladder, which need to be diagnosed and managed effectively to avoid intraoperative and long-term complications. Learning points: It is important for patients with a bladder lesion to have a comprehensive differential assessment and biochemical and radiological investigations including functional imaging.Multiple imaging modalities along with what is available are useful in the assessment of bladder paraganglioma.The key role of the multidisciplinary team is to plan treatment in the perioperative period for minimizing risk, especially in situations where optimal management is actively debated.
