Urine bladder diverticula are usually asymptomatic, therefore they are incidentally diagnosed during examinations for other purposes. A Chinese patient, with a history of pulmonary adenocarcinoma first underwent a technetium-99m methylene diphosphonate whole-body bone scan. In addition to multiple skeletal metastases, abnormal shape of the urine bladder was also noted, which overlapped the supe...

OBJECTIVE To demonstrate the various applications of CT-virtual endoscopy, for the assessment of urinary tract abnormalities. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty-three patients were evaluated by CT-virtual endoscopy (49 CT-cystoscopy; 14 CT-pyeloureteroscopy). CT-cystoscopy was obtained for follow-up of bladder tumor (n=21), radiologic suspicion (n=12) or radiologic evidence of urinary tract lesion (...

Esophageal diverticulum often causes secondary dysmotility. If a diverticulum associated with a functional disorder is growing and exacerbating symptoms, surgical treatment is usually indicated [1,2]. Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) was introduced by Inoue et al. in 2010 as a novel treatment technique for achalasia [3]. Here, we report our clinical experience of salvage POEM for esophageal di...

Villous adenomas of the urinary tract are rare as compared to urothelial carcinoma. We report a case of urinary bladder villous adenoma in a 90-year-old woman. Cystoscopic examination revealed a papillary tumour in the diverticulum at the posterior wall of the urinary bladder. Transurethral resection was performed and histopathological examination revealed predominantly tubulovillous architectu...

The majority of patients with small bowel diverticula are asymptomatic, however, associated complications include inflammation, intestinal obstruction, perforation and gastrointestinal haemorrhage. Bladder divertulae are uncommon and can herniate into the femoral or inguinal canal as well as the scrotum. We report the case of an elderly lady who underwent laparotomy for an incarcerated femoral ...

BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/ bcr-2014-204826 DESCRIPTION A 68-year-old man with a history of colonic diverticulosis presented with painless rectal bleeding. He was afebrile and haemodynamically stable. Mesenteric angiography was performed. The active bleeding was not identified, but a large airfille...

Inguinoscrotal hernias that contain bladder diverticulae are a rare occurrence. We report the case of a 85 yearold man with intense radioactivity overlying the left pubic tubercle on [Tc99m]-methylene-diphosponate (MDP) bone scan. SPECT/CT imaging established the diagnosis of excreted urinary radioactivity within a large herniated bladder diverticulum. SPECT/CT is a useful technique for evaluat...

Diverticular disease of the colon is a common disease, and its incidence is increasing gradually. A giant colonic diverticulum (GCD) is a rare entity and is defined as a diverticulum greater than 4 cm in size. It mainly arises from the sigmoid colon, and possible etiology is a ball-valve mechanism permitting progressive enlargement. A plain abdominal X-ray can be helpful to make a diagnosis ini...

Giant Colonic Diverticulum (GCD) is a rare complication of common disease, in which the symptomatology nonspecific and whose diagnosis essentially made by CT scan. A surgical ressection recommended treatment order to avoid perforation or other complications. We present case 74-year-old woman who went emergency department with complaints intestinal obstruction acute abdomen. An abdominal compute...

Giant cell tumor, excluding its prototype in bone, is usually a benign but local aggressive neoplasm originating from tendon sheath or soft tissue. Malignant behavior is uncommon. Visceral organ involvement including urinary bladder is rare. Giant cell tumors in visceral organs usually accompany epithelial tumors and the clinical behavior of giant cell tumor in urinary bladder is similar to its...
