Pheochromocytoma of the bladder is a rare bladder tumor. We report a case of an 80-year-old female who presents with recurrent bladder tumors consistent with pheochromocytoma of the bladder, discovered 10 years post-resection of a prior pheochromocytoma of the urinary bladder. She was treated with partial cystectomy and was found to be symp tom free at 6-month follow-up.
