BACKGROUND Colon cancer can arise from the mucosa in a colonic diverticulum. Although colon diverticulum is a common disease, few cases have been previously reported on colon cancer associated with a diverticulum. We report a rare case of sigmoid colon cancer arising in a diverticulum with involvement of the urinary bladder, which presented characteristic radiographic images. CASE PRESENTATIO...

Several processes including bladder distention or diverticulum, hydronephrosis, nonpancreatic pseudocyst (1), large uterine or ovarian tumors (24), and giant mesenteric (5, 6), omental (7, 8) and echinococcal cysts (9) can mimic ascites. Giant intra-abdominal cysts and pseudocysts have become comparatively rare because of advances in health care systems. Nonetheless, when they occur, they are o...

A 37-year-old male patient presented to the emergency department with fever, gross hematuria, and irritative lower urinary tract symptoms. Investigations revealed the presence of a large left bladder diverticulum superior and lateral to the left ureteral orifice without bladder outlet obstruction. Bladder diverticula in adults almost always present in the setting of bladder outlet obstruction. ...

A 26-year-old man complained of a vague low abdominal discomfort for the previous 2 months. Radiologic evaluations demonstrated that there was tubular structure connected with the right side wall of the bladder, suggesting Meckel's diverticulum with fistula formation to the bladder as well as a mass-like bladder wall thickening. With an impression of Meckel's diverticulum with fistula with the ...

A one-day-old boy weighing 2.4 kg was admitted with imperforate anus. On physical examination there was marked abdominal distension and palpable bladder. External genitalia were normal. A per urethral 6F feeding tube could be passed easily into the bladder. Invertogram suggested the presence of congenital pouch colon malformation. Exploration revealed type 1 complete colonic pouch and a bladder...

INTRODUCTION Urinary bladder diverticula are frequently resulting from obstructions. Our literature review did not reveal any cases of acquired urinary bladder diverticulum caused by long-term transurethral catheterization. CASE PRESENTATION We report a rare case of a nonobstructive big urinary bladder diverticulum developed after a long-term urethral catheterization in a 62-year old male dia...

Although colonic diverticulum is a common disease, affecting about 35% of patients above the age of 60, giant sigmoid diverticulum is an uncommon variant of which only relatively few cases have been described in the literature. We report on our experience with a patient affected by giant sigmoid diverticulum who was treated with diverticulectomy. Resection of the diverticulum is a safe surgical...

The aim is to report a rare case of squamous cell carcinoma arising in a urinary bladder diverticulum and present recent literature overview of treatment options. A 56-year-old man presented with intermittent hematuria. Ultrasound examination indicated primary carcinoma in the urinary bladder diverticulum. Diagnosis was confirmed with cystoscopy and computed tomography. Transvesical diverticule...

Low compliance bladder with a posterior urethral valve is a common association. Augmentation cystoplasty is one of the management options. We present the case report of a 4-y-old boy who presented with low compliance bladder, bladder diverticulum, right obstructive megaureter, and left grade IV reflux, 6 mo following PUV fulguration. He was managed by laparoscopic diverticulocystoplasty with r...

A 65-year-old man with a history of recurrent urinary tract infections presented after a 3-months of visible hematuria. Physical and laboratory examinations revealed anemia and impaired renal function. Ultrasound and magnetic resonnance imaging (MRI) showed an invasive bladder tumor developing in a large posterior diverticulum (A and B) with rectal deviation (A) and responsible of a left hydron...
