Abstract
A case of a 19-year-old male with a paraganglioma (pheochromocytoma) a rising in the prostate and involving the urinary bladder is presented. The radiological studies, including computed tomography, demonstrated ringlike calcification of the tumor, a rare finding that is highly su ggestive of the diagnosis of pheochromocytoma. The tumor was excised a nd found to be malignant at surgery.
