Imaging Studies VI: Voiding Cystourethrography and Cystography

1.2K
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...

Urinary Bladder01:23

Urinary Bladder

3.1K
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...

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...

Anatomy of the Genitourinary System II: Bladder and Urethra

1.3K
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...

Summary

Bladder carcinoma in a diverticulum is rare and prone to early invasion. Transurethral resection may be insufficient, highlighting the need for surgical excision and close follow-up for bladder cancer in diverticula.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Bladder carcinoma within a bladder diverticulum is uncommon but clinically significant.
  • Diverticula lack a muscularis propria, increasing invasion risk and complicating diagnosis/management.
  • Common histology is urothelial carcinoma, but others exist; treatment depends on stage and patient factors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a case of bladder diverticulum carcinoma treated with transurethral resection.
  • To discuss diagnostic and management strategies for this rare entity.

Main Methods:

  • Case presentation of an 87-year-old male with hematuria and voiding symptoms.
  • Imaging (Ultrasound, CT urography) revealed a diverticular mass.
  • Cystoscopy with biopsy confirmed urothelial carcinoma; transurethral resection was performed due to comorbidities.

Main Results:

  • Pathology confirmed pT1 disease after transurethral resection.
  • The patient experienced local recurrence at 6-month follow-up cystoscopy.

Conclusions:

  • Bladder diverticulum carcinoma requires high suspicion for early diagnosis.
  • Transurethral resection may be inadequate; surgical excision is often necessary.
  • Early detection, multidisciplinary care, and vigilant follow-up are crucial due to high recurrence risk.
