BACKGROUND Primary malignancies of colorectal origin can metastasise to the bladder. Reports are however extremely rare, particularly from the caecum. CASE REPORT The report describes the case of a 45-year old male with Duke's B caecal carcinoma treated with a laparoscopically-assisted right hemicolectomy and adjuvant 5-Fluorouracil chemotherapy.

Although bladder leiomyoma is rare, this is the most frequent nonepithelial benign tumor of the bladder. Symptoms and treatment depend on location and size of the lesion as well. The optional treatment is a total enucleation or partial cystectomy, although in biopsy proved cases watchful waiting is an option, surgery should be considered as the tumor grows or symptoms are observed. The etiology...

Hepatoid adenocarcinoma of the urachus is a rare condition. We present the case of a 51-year-old female who developed abdominal pain and hematuria. Pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) reported an urachal mass with invasion to the bladder that was resected by partial cystectomy. On light microscopy the tumor resembled liver architecture, with polygonal atypical cells in nest formation and tr...

We report a case of a vesicoenteric fistula arising from an adenocarcinoma of ectopic pancreatic tissue in a Meckel diverticulum in a 58-year-old man. The patient suffered from refractory micturition pain and increased urinary frequency. Computerized tomography with a contrast agent showed a ring-shaped enhanced mass near the dome of the urinary bladder. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a cyst...

Haemangiopericytoma (HPC) is a rare soft-tissue tumour with great histological variability and unpredictable clinical and biological behaviour. HPC of the bladder is exceedingly rare and carries uncertain malignant potential. The current study reports a case of HPC of the bladder in a 48-year-old female, who was admitted to the Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital (Hangzhou, China) due to a large bladder ...

The effectiveness of nitrofurantoin in suppressing bacterial growth in the urinary tract was evaluated by using two different experimental models. Pyelonephritis was produced in rats by direct inoculation of 10(4)Escherichia coli in the medulla of left kidney. Ascending urinary tract infection was induced by inoculation into the urinary bladder of 10(7)Proteus mirabilis, after a partial cystect...

BACKGROUND The bladder is the most common affected site in urinary tract endometriosis, being diagnosed during gynecologic follow-up. The surgical urological treatment might lead to good results. STUDY OBJECTIVE To define the state of the art in the diagnosis and treatment of bladder endometriosis. METHODS We performed a literature review by searching the MEDLINE database for articles publi...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the indications for early and deferred cystectomy and to report the impact of this tailored approach on survival. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS We retrospectively studied 523 patients seen at our institution who were initially diagnosed with T1 disease between 1990 and 2007. MEASUREMENTS Variables analyzed included age, gender, multifocality, multifocal T1 disease...

Recurrent urachal adenocarcinomas are rare. It is commonly associated with poor prognosis. A 51-year-old woman underwent a partial cystectomy for cancer in 2014. She was well throughout follow-up annual cystoscopies. presented 1-month history of rapidly progressive suprapubic mass and hematuria. contrasted computed tomography scan the thorax, abdomen pelvis showed large mixed solid cystic tumou...
