Summary
Radiological findings in 12 patients with pseudo-neoplastic sigmoiditis revealed abnormal bladder appearances in all cases. These bladder changes can aid in differentiating sigmoiditis from cancer.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Radiology
- Gastroenterology
Background:
- Pseudo-neoplastic sigmoiditis can present with complex symptoms.
- Radiological imaging is crucial for diagnosing conditions affecting the sigmoid colon and bladder.
Purpose of the Study:
- To report radiological findings of the bladder in patients with pseudo-neoplastic sigmoiditis.
- To evaluate the utility of bladder imaging in the differential diagnosis of sigmoiditis versus cancer.
Main Methods:
- Retrospective analysis of 12 radiological explorations of the bladder.
- Patients included had confirmed pseudo-neoplastic sigmoiditis.
Main Results:
- All 12 patients exhibited abnormal bladder aspects on radiological examination.
- Observed anomalies included pseudotumors (2 cases), inflammatory aspects (2 cases), and conical bladder attraction by the sigmoid (4 cases).
- Morphological anomalies of the filled bladder were consistently seen; ureters were normal or dilated without true stenosis.
Conclusions:
- Radiological assessment of the bladder reveals characteristic anomalies in pseudo-neoplastic sigmoiditis.
- These findings can assist in the differential diagnosis between sigmoiditis and bladder cancer.
- Understanding these vesical lesions is important for accurate clinical management.
