Abstract

One autopsy case of a latent paraganglioma of the urinary bladder is reported. The patient, a 46-year-old woman, died as a result of the ventricular septal defect. Paragangliomas consisting of seven tumors were present in the urinary bladder. The largest one in seven tumors was three millimeters in diameter and six similar tumors were noticed in the muscle layer around the tumor. Some multicentric tumors have been reported in cases of multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) and often associated with anomalies. Although the present case does not belong to MEN, this is the seventh report of a multicentric paraganglioma of the urinary bladder.
