Paragangliomas are neuroendocrine tumours of extra-adrenal origin. Primary bladder paragangliomas are rare and have variable functional status, which presents a challenge in their management by minimally invasive surgery. Surgical resection necessitates minimal intraoperative handling of tumour, minimising physiological deterioration. Here in, a case is reported of incidentally detected locally advanced bladder paraganglioma which was managed successfully with robot-assisted radical cystectomy and intracorporeal ileal neobladder formation.
