Intraureteral tumor demonstrated by computed tomography.

K G Ryan, W H Hoch, R M Craven

    Journal of Computer Assisted Tomography
    |August 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    Standard X-rays failed to visualize ureters in two papillary bladder carcinoma cases. Computed tomography (CT) successfully identified tumor-filled ureters, aiding diagnosis of intraureteral papillary tumors.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Radiology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Papillary carcinoma of the bladder is a type of cancer affecting the urinary tract.
    • Standard radiographic techniques are often used for diagnosing bladder and ureteral conditions.

    Observation:

    • Two cases of bladder papillary carcinoma presented diagnostic challenges with standard radiography.
    • The ureter could not be visualized using conventional X-ray methods in these patients.

    Findings:

    • Computed tomography (CT) enabled the identification of the ureter filled with tumor.
    • Intraureteral papillary tumors exhibit a computed tomography (CT) number greater than water but less than the surrounding ureter.

    Implications:

    • Computed tomography (CT) is a valuable tool for diagnosing intraureteral papillary tumors when standard radiography is insufficient.
    • Accurate tumor visualization is crucial for effective treatment planning in bladder cancer.
