The case of a 65‐year‐old male with pheochromocytoma arising in the urinary bladder is presented. Clinical evaluation included ultrasonography, intravenous pyelography and computerized tomography (CT) scan. Transurethral resection of an exophytic tumor 1 cm in diameter was performed. The histological diagnosis was pheochromocytoma of the bladder. The evaluation and management of this type of tumor is discussed.
