How can I add a chapter entry to TOC without showing the correspondent page number?
my documentclass is report and I am generating my TOC like this:
\phantomsection
\pdfbookmark{\Contents}{contents}
\tableofcontents
Thank you.

The tocloft package offers you a series of commands to customize the ToC, LoF, and LoT. In your case, you can redefine \cftchappagefont to use \normalfont (and possibly a font size switch):
\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{tocloft}
\renewcommand\cftchappagefont{\normalfont}
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\chapter{Test chapter}
\section{Test section}
\subsection{Test subsection}
\end{document}
Another option would be to redefine the command \l@chapter (as implemented in book.cls) which actually typesets the chapter entries in the ToC; in this case, the redefinition would imply using \normalfont just before the page number is typeset. Here's such a redefinition:
\makeatletter
\renewcommand*\l@chapter[2]{%
\ifnum \c@tocdepth >\m@ne
\addpenalty{-\@highpenalty}%
\vskip 1.0em \@plus\p@
\setlength\@tempdima{1.5em}%
\begingroup
\parindent \z@ \rightskip \@pnumwidth
\parfillskip -\@pnumwidth
\leavevmode \bfseries
\advance\leftskip\@tempdima
\hskip -\leftskip
#1\nobreak\hfil \nobreak\hb@xt@\@pnumwidth{\hss\normalfont #2}\par
\penalty\@highpenalty
\endgroup
\fi}
\makeatother
Of course, the etoolbox package makes this a lot shorter:
\makeatletter
\patchcmd{\l@chapter}{\hss}{\hss\normalfont}{}{}
\makeatother
hyperref redefined \contentsline to take four arguments instead of the usual three. Additionally, since you're working with ToC-related stuff (which are written to file), you need to be careful about expansion. Use it in the following way:
\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\chapter*{Introduction}
\addtocontents{toc}{\protect\contentsline{chapter}{\protect\numberline{}Introduction}{}{}}
\end{document}
The fourth argument supplies the hyperref link (or anchor). Since it is empty, the ToC-entry won't be hyperlinked.
Adding a hyperlink depends on the type of link. In your case, you can use the following:
\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\clearpage\phantomsection
\chapter*{Introduction}
\addtocontents{toc}{\protect\contentsline{chapter}{\protect\numberline{}Introduction}{}{chapter*.\thepage}}
\end{document}
Each \chapter* can be accessed using chapter*.<current page>, which is passed to the last option of \contentsline. Since the \phantomsection/mark is made on the current page, chapter*.\thepage results in an appropriate expansion of the current \chapter*.

You could load the
tocloftpackage and issue the command\cftpagenumbersoff{chapter}. This will suppress the showing of the page numbers of chapter-type entries globally.To make this change apply to only a single instance of a chapter, you might type
