Presented is 57-year-old woman who suffered by hypertension and dysuria with macroscopic hematuria. Endoscopic appearance of a large intramural tumor simulated high-stage urothelial malignancy. The case was sent for consultation in our lab and diagnosis of primary pararaganglioma of the urinary bladder was eventually rendered. Performed was wide excision and finally partial cystectomy. The patient is now 3 month free of disease. The literature is reviewed and morphological differential diagnosis is discussed in sight of biologic, prognostic and therapeutic implications.
