Adenocarcinoma in the defunctionalized bladder.

N Vesth, L Kay, P Nordkild

    Scandinavian Journal of Urology and Nephrology
    |January 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    Chronic bladder inflammation may increase cancer risk following urinary diversion. Periodic cystoscopies and potential cystectomy are recommended for defunctionalized bladders to monitor for malignancy.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Oncology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Urinary diversion is performed for various lower urinary tract dysfunctions.
    • Chronic bladder inflammation is a known risk factor for bladder cancer.
    • Defunctionalized bladders, those not used for urine storage or voiding, may be susceptible to malignant transformation.

    Observation:

    • A case of adenocarcinoma in the bladder is presented six years post-supravesical urinary diversion.
    • The patient's diversion was indicated due to chronic bladder inflammation.
    • Previous literature indicates a link between chronic bladder inflammation and carcinoma in defunctionalized bladders.

    Findings:

    • Chronic bladder inflammation is theorized to promote or lead to malignancy.
    • Malignancy developed in a defunctionalized bladder secondary to chronic inflammation.
    • The presented case aligns with the hypothesis linking chronic inflammation and bladder cancer.

    Implications:

    • Periodic cystoscopic surveillance of the retained bladder is recommended after urinary diversion.
    • Consideration for cystectomy during urinary diversion in patients with a history of chronic bladder inflammation may be warranted.
    • Early detection and preventative strategies are crucial for managing cancer risk in patients with defunctionalized bladders.
