Paragangliomas are extra-adrenal neural crest-derived neoplasms. Hybrid imaging allows for localization, preoperative planning and whole-body assessment. A rare case of urinary bladder paraganglioma is presented. In addition, in this case report, we highlight the selection of the appropriate radioactive tracer in the light of mutations.
