Urinary Bladder01:23

Urinary Bladder

4.6K
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

3.1K
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...

Gallbladder01:17

Gallbladder

3.3K
The gallbladder is a small, pear-shaped organ that plays a crucial role in our digestive system. Measuring about 10 cm in length, it is comparable in size to a kiwi fruit and is located in a hollow area on the lower surface of the liver. The gallbladder's primary function is to store and concentrate bile, a fluid produced by the liver that aids in digestion.
The gallbladder's anatomy consists of three regions: the fundus, body, and neck. Extending from the neck, the cystic duct joins...

Urinary Tract Calculi VI: Surgical Management

930
Procedures for Kidney StonesMedical intervention is necessary when kidney stones or renal calculi are too large to pass spontaneously (typically greater than 5 millimeters) when stones are accompanied by symptomatic infection (such as fever or pyelonephritis), when they impair kidney function, or when they cause persistent symptoms like severe pain, nausea, or urinary retention. Additionally, patients with only one kidney or those who cannot be treated with medical management also require...

Urinary Tract Calculi II: Pathophysiology and Clinical Manifestations

776
Renal calculi, commonly termed kidney stones, are crystalline solid masses that form in the kidneys but can occur at any point within the urinary system, encompassing the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra.The pathophysiology of renal stones involves several key factors: supersaturation of the urine with stone-forming constituents, changes in urine pH, a decrease in urine volume, and the presence of substances that promote or inhibit stone formation.Supersaturation of Urine: This is the...

Imaging Studies VI: Voiding Cystourethrography and Cystography

4.2K
Voiding Cystourethrography (VCUG) and Cystography are specialized radiographic procedures used to examine the structure and function of the bladder and urethra.Voiding Cystourethrography (VCUG)A Voiding Cystourethrogram (VCUG) is a diagnostic imaging procedure that assesses the anatomy and function of the lower urinary tract. It focuses on the bladder, bladder neck, and urethra, helping detect abnormalities such as vesicoureteral reflux (VUR)—the backward or reverse flow of urine into the...

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Pathology
  • Urology

Background:

  • Soft tissue chondromas are benign neoplasms typically affecting the extremities.
  • These tumors are uncommon in visceral locations.
  • Chondromas of the urinary bladder wall are exceptionally rare, with only two previous cases documented in medical literature.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a third case of chondroma arising in the urinary bladder wall.
  • To analyze and compare the clinical and pathological features of all reported urinary bladder wall chondromas.
  • To contribute to the understanding of rare bladder neoplasms.

Main Methods:

  • Case presentation of a patient with a urinary bladder wall chondroma.
  • Review of existing literature on bladder chondromas.
  • Comparative analysis of clinical presentation, imaging findings, surgical management, and histopathological characteristics.

Main Results:

  • The third case of urinary bladder wall chondroma is described.
  • Similarities and differences among the three reported cases are discussed.
  • The rarity and potential diagnostic challenges of this condition are highlighted.

Conclusions:

  • Urinary bladder wall chondromas are exceedingly rare benign tumors.
  • While typically presenting in the extremities, chondromas can occur in the bladder.
  • Further case accumulation is necessary for a comprehensive understanding of their behavior and management.
