Functioning Nonchromaffin Paraganglioma (Chemodectoma) of the Urinary Bladder
Radiology1971Vol. 98(3), pp. 577–578
Abstract
A hormonally active nonchromaffin paraganglioma (chemodectoma) of the urinary bladder is reported. The arteriographic appearance was of a highly vascular mass with numerous pathologic vessels and arteriovenous shunting. Injections of contrast material into the tumor's vascular supply provoked self-limited episodes of hypertension. Precautions similar to those used in study of pheochromocytomas might well be applied in arteriographic evaluation of paraganglioma.
