Summary
A rare colonic polyp, a nonadenomatous serrated hyperplastic polyp, was found in an elderly patient with a history of exstrophic bladder. This finding is novel, as previous reports focused on adenomas and adenocarcinomas in similar cases.
Area of Science:
- Gastroenterology
- Urology
- Oncology
Background:
- Intestinal metaplasia in the urinary bladder can arise from chronic irritation, particularly in repaired exstrophic bladders.
- Previous studies have documented colonic villous adenomas, tubulovillous adenomas, and adenocarcinoma in adults with augmented exstrophic bladders.
Purpose of the Study:
- To report the first known case of a nonadenomatous serrated hyperplastic colonic polyp in an elderly patient with a history of exstrophic bladder.
Main Methods:
- Case report of an elderly patient with a history of exstrophic bladder.
- Histopathological examination of a colonic polyp.
Main Results:
- Identification of a nonadenomatous serrated hyperplastic colonic polyp.
- This polyp type has not been previously reported in patients with a history of exstrophic bladder.
Conclusions:
- The findings expand the spectrum of colonic polyp types associated with exstrophic bladder history.
- Highlights the importance of considering diverse polyp morphologies in surveillance of these patients.

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...

Changes in the environment of the early Earth drove the evolution of organisms. As prokaryotic organisms in the oceans began to photosynthesize, they produced oxygen. Eventually, oxygen saturated the oceans and entered the air, resulting in an increase in atmospheric oxygen concentration, known as the oxygen revolution approximately 2.3 billion years ago. Therefore, organisms that could use oxygen for cellular respiration had an advantage. More than 1.5 years ago, eukaryotic cells and...

01:13Introduction to Urinary System
9.0K
The urinary system consists of two kidneys, two ureters, the urinary bladder, and the urethra.
The kidneys are bean-shaped organs located in the retroperitoneal space, on either side of the vertebral column, between the T12 and L3 vertebrae. They are partially protected by the rib cage and surrounded by perirenal fat, which provides cushioning. They are responsible for urine formation and play critical roles in regulating blood pressure, electrolyte levels, and hormone production. The ureters...

The urinary system is responsible for eliminating waste and excess fluids from the body. However, disorders of the urinary system can arise due to various reasons like infections, stress, age, congenital abnormalities, and lifestyle.
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are one of the most common urinary system disorders. They are caused by bacteria that enter the urethra and can spread to the bladder resulting in cystitis. Pyelonephritis is the result of a UTI that has ascended to the level of the...

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...

01:28Urinary Tract Calculi I: Introduction
532
Renal calculi, or kidney stones, are solid deposits of minerals and salts formed inside the kidneys. In medical terminology, "calculus" refers to the stone itself, while "lithiasis" describes the process of stone formation. Depending on their location within the urinary system, these stones may be classified as either urolithiasis, when situated within the urinary tract, or nephrolithiasis, when located within the kidneys. Each term signifies the specific impact of the stone.Predisposition...
