Abstract:
We report a case of primary transitional cell carcinoma developed in bladder vdiverticulum with brief review of literatures. Patient was a 71 year-old man who had painless gross hematuria for 10 days. Excretory urogram showe a large diverticulum in the bladder. At cystoscopy a 0.5 x 0.5cm sized papillary mass was seen on diverticular mucosa. Urine cytology revealed class V transitional cell carcinoma. At pelvic CT, metastatic evidence was not seen. We carried out partial cystectomy involving diverticulum under the diagnosis of primary transitional cell carcinoma developed in vesical diverticulum. The histopathologic diagnosis was grade III, stage A transitional cell carcinoma combining with carcinoma in situ.
