Diagnostic transurethral resection of the bladder tumor was performed at another hospital, and postoperative pathology indicated paraganglioma. Upon admission to our hospital, further testing revealed markedly elevated plasma levels of norepinephrine and methoxy norepinephrine. Contrast-enhanced pelvic MRI revealed a mass on the right bladder wall involving the right ureteral orifice, accompanied by right-sided hydronephrosis and suspicious pelvic lymph nodes. After multidisciplinary discussion and thorough preoperative preparation including \u03b1-receptor blockade and volume expansion, the patient underwent radical cystectomy with bilateral pelvic lymphadenectomy and ileal neobladder reconstruction. Postoperative pathology confirmed bladder paraganglioma invading the full thickness of the bladder detrusor muscle (deep muscular layer) with a Ki-67 index of approximately 8%, and no lymph node metastasis was observed in 18 examined lymph nodes (7 left pelvic and 11 right pelvic). During the 5-month postoperative follow-up, no obvious recurrence or metastasis was detected.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Urination-related paroxysmal hypertension is the pathognomonic sign of functional bladder paraganglioma. Preoperative catecholamine metabolite testing combined with pelvic contrast-enhanced MRI forms the core diagnostic system. Multidisciplinary collaboration-based perioperative management and individualized surgical resection are the keys to improving prognosis, and lifelong follow-up is mandatory for all patients.<\/jats:p>\n
