One Health in ACTION! Scand J Urol Nephrol. 2010 Feb 24. [Epub ahead of print] Primary bladder phaeochromocytoma diagnosed by a vet. Oderda M, Michelon F, Appendino M, Gallo M, Senetta R, Pacchioni D, Tizzani A, Gontero P. Department of Urology, University of Turin, Molinette Hospital, Italy . Abstract Bladder phaeochromocytomas are rare neuroendocrine neoplasms whose diagnosis can be missed in spite of their rather suggestive presentation. It is mandatory to collect a thorough medical history and to recognize their typical symptoms. This study reports the case of a woman, treated for hypertensive crisis, who was diagnosed with bladder phaeochromocytoma thanks to a vet noting her fainting after micturition.
