Abstract:

SUMMARY

We present the staging fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET-CT) findings in a patient with a functional urinary bladder paraganglioma. The PET-CT scan showed markedly increased FDG uptake into bilateral pelvic nodes that was consistent with regional nodal involvement. These findings were confirmed on histopathology. At present, there are no reports of PET-CT findings in urinary bladder paragangliomas.
