Bladder tumors in bladder diverticula are rare and aggressive, often diagnosed late. Early detection and tailored treatment are crucial for improving prognosis in these challenging cases.

Area of Science:

Urology
Oncology

Background:

Bladder tumors within vesical diverticula are uncommon and associated with poor prognosis due to frequent early invasion.
Diagnosis is often delayed, leading to advanced disease at presentation.

Observation:

This report details three cases of bladder tumors in vesical diverticula with diagnostic delays of 2, 8, and 12 months.
Radiological exploration raised suspicion, and histological biopsies confirmed diagnoses including primary transitional cell carcinoma (PTa GI, T2 GII) and invasive epidermoid carcinoma.

Findings:

Treatment varied based on tumor stage and patient condition, including urethral resection, cytoreductive surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy.
One patient died following urethral resection, highlighting the aggressive nature of these tumors.
