Abstract:
A 75-year-old man with suspected prostate cancer underwent a 99mTc-MDP bone scan to exclude the possibility of bone metastasis. Scans revealed areas of increased tracer uptake in a symmetric distribution on both sides of the pelvis. Further SPECT/CT imaging showed focal 99mTc-MDP accumulation within 2 cystic lesions on both sides of the bladder. Subsequent x-ray cystography showed contrast agent filling within both cystic lesions, which suggested double bladder diverticula. Eventually, these 2 cystic lesions were confirmed by surgery and pathology as double congenital bladder diverticula.
