Summary
Complete urinary bladder eversion and prolapse, a rare condition, was visualized using MRI. This case also revealed primary adenocarcinoma within the bladder wall.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Radiology
- Oncology
Background:
- Complete urinary bladder eversion and prolapse are exceptionally rare clinical events.
- Documented imaging findings for this condition are notably absent in existing medical literature.
Observation:
- This report details a unique case of complete urinary bladder eversion and prolapse.
- Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) was utilized to visualize the condition.
Findings:
- The MRI clearly demonstrated the complete eversion and prolapse of the urinary bladder.
- A concurrent primary adenocarcinoma was identified within the thickened wall of the everted bladder.
Implications:
- This case provides the first documented imaging findings of complete bladder eversion and prolapse.
- Highlights the importance of MRI in diagnosing rare urological and oncological conditions.
- Suggests a potential association between bladder eversion/prolapse and underlying malignancy.
