Phaeochromocytoma is an endocrine neuroectodermal tumour usually located in the adrenal gland, but occasionally arising in other organs. The authors report a case of a vesical phaeochromocytoma presenting with haematuria. Radiological and endoscopic investigations revealed a right laterovesical submucosal tumour. Partial cystectomy was performed. The normality of the postoperative endocrine survey suggested disappearance of the tumour and absence of any other sites.
