“…When recognized as haematuria, complete evaluation should be conducted and bladder cancer considered in the differential diagnosis. Although cystitis is the most common cause of haematuria in pregnancy [Choate et al 1964], full investigation is needed if it does not respond to the appropriate medication. Catheterization of the bladder may be necessary if the source of the bleeding remains in doubt.…”

We report a rare case of a patient presenting with a nonmuscle invasive papillomatosis transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder in the second trimester of pregnancy. We describe the management dilemmas encountered and the challenging treatment option selected to optimize outcome for the patient and infant. Close collaboration between urologists, obstetricians and medical colleagues is needed for optimal, safe and effective management of bladder tumours during pregnancy.

“…Cystitis is the most common cause of haematuria in pregnancy (Choate et al, 1964), but if it does not respond to appropriate medication it needs to be fully investigated. In many patients haematuria is mistaken for vaginal bleeding and ultrasound examination is performed to exclude placenta praevia, abruptio placentae or retained products following abortion or miscarriage.…”

fistula. During the repair, we felt that the tissues were easily dissectible, in comparison with our previous experience of fistula repairs. The reason for that could be attributed to the hormonal changes in pregnancy. A vesico-uterine fistula was reported antenatally by Kennedy et al. (1999) where a classical caesarean section was performed at 26 weeks together with excision of the fistulous tract. In our case the repair of the vesico-vaginal fistula was performed at 8 weeks followed by an uneventful pregnancy. The patient was delivered by lower-segment caesarean section at 38 weeks.In a recent review from Nigeria, the average time to presentation was more than 5 years and this may be determined by inadequate access to health care. The time from symptoms to presentation of our patient was 3 years and was identified during a teaching visit of the author to Yemen.The cure rates (closure from the first attempt) of the vesicovaginal fistulae vary from 60 -98% (Hilton, 1997; Clement and Hilton, 2001). In our case the patient experienced full continence after removal of the catheter. It would be interesting to know whether the cure rate in pregnancy is better. ConclusionVesico-vaginal fistula can be repaired successfully in pregnancy. Furthermore, this repair could prevent the potential risk of miscarriage. Further research is needed to find out if repairing fistulae in pregnancy is associated with better outcome.

“…Metastatic lesions to the bladder arise in the stomach, rectum, breast, endometrium, ovary and prostate [4]. Most of them are primary transitional-cell carcinoma [7], and only 1 case of adenocarcinoma of the bladder has been reported during pregnancy [8]. A careful evaluation for other primary adenocarcinomas should precede definitive treatment of adenocarcinoma of the bladder.…”
