Abstract

We report a case of pheochromocytoma in the urinary bladder of a 14-year-old girl who presented with headache and palpitation after voiding. This is an extremely rare condition in pediatric age group and thus can be missed easily. This case is the seventh case reported in the reviewed literature.
