Bladder Diverticulum with Stone and Transitional Cell Carcinoma: A Case Report

Abstract: The incidence of bladder diverticulum is approximately 1.7% in children and 6% in adults. Dysplasia, leukoplakia, and squamous metaplasia and stone formation may develop in diverticulum and sometimes with malignant changes. The most common histological subtype of diverticulum tumors is transitional cell carcinoma (TCC). Herein we report 2 such cases of transitional cell carcinoma arising in diverticulum of the urinary bladder, one of which was associated with diverticular stones.

“…1 The incidence of bladder diverticulum is approximately 1.7% in children and 6% in adults. 2 Acquired diverticulum occurs as a result of raised intravesical pressure due to bladder outlet obstruction through a series of changes like trabeculations and sacculations. 3 Congenital diverticulum is usually single that occurs as a result of the disarray of the detrusor fibres within the musculature of the bladder wall and is associated with vesicoureteric reflux and hydronephrosis.…”

“…Out pouching of the bladder mucosa through the weak part of the urinary bladder muscular layer is known as bladder diverticulum. 1,2 Its incidence is not rare at all. 3 Chronic irritation and inflammation secondary to urinary stasis in the diverticulum are responsible for neoplastic changes.…”
