Bladder leiomyoma masquerading as a ureterocele.

We present a unique case of bladder leiomyoma that was mistakenly diagnosed as a ureterocele. The delay in diagnosis meant ongoing significant voiding lower urinary tract symptoms, which could have been avoided. This was eventually successfully treated by transurethral resection.

'No visible lesions?'-an unusual case of Intestinal metaplasia of the bladder.

Intestinal metaplasia (IM) of the bladder is an extremely rare benign condition. The clinical features are similar to other bladder tumours. Its pathogenesis is unclear and its role as a precursor of adenocarcinoma has long been debated.

A Single Center Evaluation of the Diagnostic Accuracy of Multiparametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging against Transperineal Prostate Mapping Biopsy: An Analysis of Men with Benign Histology and Insignificant Cancer following Transrectal Ultrasound Biopsy.

Purpose: In this study we evaluated the diagnostic performance of transrectal ultrasound guided biopsy and multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging to detect prostate cancer against transperineal prostate mapping biopsy as the reference test.

Materials And Methods: Transrectal ultrasound guided biopsy, multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging and transperineal prostate mapping biopsy were performed in 426 patients between April 2012 and January 2016. Patients initially underwent systematic 12 core transrectal ultrasound guided biopsy followed 3 months later by 1.

Isolated Red Patches Seen During Endoscopic Surveillance of Bladder Cancer: Incidence of Malignancy and When Should We Biopsy?

Objective: To establish whether the regular biopsy of red patches (RPs) seen during endoscopic surveillance for bladder cancer is worthwhile and determine a suitable time frame for repeat biopsy of prior histologically benign persistent RPs in patients on endoscopic surveillance for bladder cancer.

Patients And Methods: Four thousand eight hundred five flexible cystoscopy (FC) reports over a 12-month period were retrospectively reviewed at a United Kingdom tertiary teaching hospital and those undergoing cystoscopic surveillance for bladder cancer and found to have solitary RPs at FC were included in the study. A proportion of these cases had biopsies taken for histopathologic analysis.

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour of the urinary bladder managed with partial cystectomy: a case report & literature review.

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour (IMT) is a rare neoplasm which can affect many different organs throughout the body. We report the case of a 62-year old female presenting with visible haematuria found to have IMT of the urinary bladder exhibiting anaplastic lymphoma kinase-1 gene rearrangement, initially managed with local resection and then definitively with partial cystectomy.
