“…Regardless of the location and size, sonographic detection rates of bladder carcinoma range from 82% to 95% (16,17). In the present study the sonography detected 96% bladder carcinomas and the smallest carcinoma detected was 0.8 cm in size.…”

Introduction: The present study was carried out to compare the efficacy of transabdominal ultrasonography and intravenous urography in the diagnosis of bladder carcinoma in those patients presenting painless hematuria.Materials and Methods: Medical records of 100 patients who had both ultrasonography and intravenous urography were studied. The reported findings of these investigations were correlated with those of cystoscopy.Results: Ultrasonography was significantly more sensitive (96%) in the detection of bladder carcinoma compared to urography (87%). By applying the test of equality of proportions, the value of Z is 2.28, which is statistically significant (p < 0.01). In addition, ultrasonography was more sensitive in clarifying the pathology in upper renal tracts i.e. ureteric obstruction secondary to bladder carcinoma when urography failed due to none or poor excretion of contrast.Comments: We recommend the use of ultrasonography as the initial radiological investigation for detection of bladder carcinomas in patients presenting hematuria. Ultrasonography is safe, easily available, cost effective and provides images of both upper and lower renal tract. Patients diagnosed to be suffering from bladder carcinoma by ultrasonography should be scheduled directly and promptly for cystoscopy and bladder tumor resection.

“…Accurate detection also depends on the size and location of tumor. Tumors smaller than 0.5 cm can be difficult to detect (16) and tumors located in the bladder neck and dome can also be missed on sonography (17).…”

“…Various non-invasive methods have been used to fol low-up these patients including abdominal ultrasound and cytology [2,3], and history, urine analysis and cytology [4]. Results using transabdominal ultrasound have given tu mour detection rates of 50, 74 and 77% in the studies performed by Malone et al This study evaluates the use of abdominal and transrectal ultrasound with cytology in the detection of recur rent bladder tumours in the out-patient department.…”

“…Although it is reported that urinary ultrasound detects only half of the cases with bladder tumor, large size and localization of the tumor made the diagnosis easy in our case. 6,11 Certainly, gold standard in the diagnosis of bladder tumor is cystoscopy performed under local anesthesia even if the patient is pregnant. 12 Although it is known that since most of the bladder tumors diagnosed by cystoscopy are superficial, they can be effectively treated with transurethral resection at any time during pregnancy however, some studies report that treatment can be delayed until post partum period particularly in low grade bladder tumors.…”

ccording to American Cancer Society (ACS) data, rate of new cases with urothelial carcinoma is 6% in men and 2% in women, while urothelial carcinomas rank 4 th place in all cancers in men and 9 th place in women. 1,2 In a recent study it was reported that the bladder tumor incidence increased with the decrease of the age of first pregnancy and parity.3 Although there are data suggesting that bladder tumors in women tend to be more advanced stage at the time of the diagnosis and recurrence and progression rates are higher compared to men, our knowledge on incidence and clinical course of urothelial carcinoma in pregnancy is limited to a few simultaneous cases. With the opinion that bladder might be fragile secondary to hormonal changes in pregnancy, we aimed to share the result of bipolar resection technique that we used considering localization of the tumor.Turkiye Klinikleri J Urology 2015;6(2) 49 A Rare Bladder Tumor in a Young Pregnant Woman: Case Report A AB BS S T TR RA AC CT T Urothelial cancers, most common tumors of urinary system, are frequently localized in the bladder. These tumors which are generally detected at superficial phase and have papillary structure can be also rarely seen during pregnancy. Our knowledge on time and method of the treatment about this extremely rare situation is rather limited. We share the results of bipolar transurethral resection technique that we applied in a thirteen weeks pregnant patient with papillary urothelial carcinoma which we had diagnosed through clinical and ultrasonographic findings.K Ke ey y W Wo or rd ds s: : Urinary bladder neoplasms; pregnancy; hematuria; cytology Ö ÖZ ZE ET T Üriner sistemin en sık gözlenen tümörü olan ürotelyal kanserler sıklıkla mesanede yerleşirler.
