Paraganglioma is a rare neuroendocrine tumor that arises from the autonomic nervous system. The urinary bladder paraganglioma accounts for less than 0.1% of bladder tumors. It remains a challenging entity to diagnose and treat due to its rareness and the lack of specific symptoms. Treatment modalities include transurethral resection and cystectomy (partial or total). The authors report a new case of an isolated paraganglioma of the urinary bladder in a 52-year-old female patient that underwent partial cystectomy. This case aims to remind the clinical, histological and therapeutic features of this rare tumor.

Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) is a rare tumor of the urinary system. Only three cases of EHE of the bladder have been reported to date, and the biological properties of the tumor in this location remain poorly characterized. We report a case of primary EHE of the urinary bladder in a 58-year-old woman who was treated by transurethral resection and review the existing literature on the diagnosis and treatment of EHE of the bladder.

e15571 Background: The objective is to validate the new clinicopathological features involving carcinoma of the unrivaled urinary bladder of Egyptian patients, alongside studying their reflection on management. Methods: Timely contributions of leading Egyptian experts in bladder cancer in the last 4 decades were reviewed. Additionally, 34 patients were studied in 2 subsets based on planned treatment modality: group A (12 cases) treated by cystectomy and group B (22 cases) treated by transurethral resection plus stipulated radiotherapy. Treatment results were evaluated. Results: An overview of studies published in the last 4 decades is given, demonstrating a striking change in the characteristic features of bladder carcinoma in this country, more obvious in 2007 and after. Present work revealed 44.1% of patients had their tumor erupting in a bilharzial bladder where walls demonstrated classical cystoscopic features of the disease. Histologically 86.7 % of them were squamous cell carcinoma. Almost 60% of patients had had their tumors in a non-bilharzial bladder, 94.7% of them were transitional cell carcinoma. Thirteen out of 15 patients in group A were treated by cystectomy carrying 7.7 % perioperative mortality, whereas 11 out of 12 patients in group B received radiotherapy preceded by transurethral resection. Distribution of clinicopathological findings and treatment modalities is tabulated. Conclusions: Bladder cancer in Egyptian patients has lost its weird features imposed by bilharzial cystitis. It is shifting towards alien types making it suitable for organ preserving management.

Transurethral resection is very important not only for diagnosis and treatment of NMIBC, but also for its management. The application field of transurethral resection includes establishing histological diagnosis, determination of prognostic factors including the tumor stage, complete resection of all detected tumors of urinary bladder. Transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) is the standard technique for the diagnosis and treatment of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. This method has also some limitations. One of the limitations is the insufficient assessment of the resection depth. It leads to the necessity of intravesical tumor fragmentation, but its disadvantage is that it limits the histopathological evaluation. In order to improve the treatment outcome for patients with non-muscular invasive bladder tumors, several new techniques such as En-bloc resection were proposed.

Pheochromocytoma of the bladder is a rare bladder tumor. We report a case of an 80-year-old female who presents with recurrent bladder tumors consistent with pheochromocytoma of the bladder, discovered 10 years post-resection of a prior pheochromocytoma of the urinary bladder. She was treated with partial cystectomy and was found to be symp tom free at 6-month follow-up.

Extra-adrenal paragangliomas are rare tumors arising from the chromaffin cells of the autonomic nervous system. Retroperitoneal paragangliomas may present as a pancreatic mass. We present a case of a 61-year-old woman with an incidentally found pancreatic mass (7.2 × 6.5 cm) in the CT scan. EUS- guided FNA result was compatible with pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor. Patient underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy and histopathologic assessment revealed the mass was an extra-adrenal paraganglioma. Preoperative diagnosis of pancreatic paragangliomas can be challenging due to imaging and histopathologic similarities with pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors.
