Candida of the bladder wall: computerized tomography demonstration.

T D Trinh, O M Gatewood, E K Fishman

    The Journal of Urology
    |May 1, 1986

    Summary

    A bladder lesion initially suspected as cancer in a patient with a history of vulvar cancer was diagnosed as a fungal infection (Candida). This case highlights the importance of considering non-malignant causes for bladder wall abnormalities.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Oncology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Patient history includes vulvar cancer, aplastic anemia, and diabetes.
    • Computerized tomography (CT) scan revealed a bladder wall lesion.

    Observation:

    • The CT scan findings were initially suggestive of malignancy.
    • A biopsy was performed for pathological examination.

    Findings:

    • Pathological examination identified the bladder lesion as Candida, a fungal species.
    • The lesion was not a malignant tumor.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of considering fungal infections in the differential diagnosis of bladder wall lesions.
    • It highlights the need for thorough pathological examination to differentiate between malignancy and infection.
