Urinary Bladder

Urinary Bladder

The urinary bladder is a hollow, muscular sac that temporarily stores urine before it is expelled from the body. It can hold approximately 600 mL of urine prior to micturition. The bladder is retroperitoneal and located behind the pubic symphysis in the pelvic floor.
In males, the bladder is situated in front of the rectum, while in females, it is positioned anterior to the vagina and uterus. The bladder floor contains an inverted triangular area called the trigone, defined by the two ureteric...

Anatomy of the Genitourinary System II: Bladder and Urethra

The lower urinary system consists of the urinary bladder and urethra, which are essential in storing and expelling urine from the body. Together with the internal and external sphincters, these structures work together to regulate urination effectively.Anatomy of the BladderThe urinary bladder is a muscular, stretchable organ behind the pubic bone and in front of the rectum. In females, the bladder is positioned anterior to the vagina and inferior to the uterus, while in males, it is located...

Disorders of the Male Reproductive System

Disorders of the Male Reproductive System

Men's health issues are increasingly recognized as significant, with several conditions posing common threats. Among these, testicular cancer is especially prevalent in younger men, particularly those aged 20 to 35 years. The disease often manifests as a painless mass in the testicles, sometimes accompanied by a sensation of heaviness or a dull ache.
Prostate disorders are another major concern. These conditions can impair urinary flow due to the prostate's location around the urethra. Symptoms...

Area of Science:

Urology
Pathology

Background:

Ectopic prostate tissue in the bladder is a recognized condition.
Involvement of the bladder dome by ectopic prostate tissue is exceptionally rare.

Purpose of the Study:

To report a rare case of benign ectopic prostatic tissue located at the bladder dome.
To highlight the diagnostic and management considerations for this unusual presentation.

Main Methods:

A case report of a 72-year-old male patient.
Diagnostic procedures included cystoscopy.
Treatment involved transurethral resection of the bladder mass.
Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis.

Main Results:

The patient presented with gross painless hematuria.
Cystoscopy identified a smooth sessile mass at the bladder dome.
Histopathology confirmed the mass to be benign ectopic prostatic tissue.

Conclusions:

Benign ectopic prostatic tissue can occur at the bladder dome, though infrequently.
This case underscores the importance of thorough histopathological evaluation for bladder masses.
Transurethral resection is an effective treatment for such lesions.
