Introduction: Female pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is considered a borderline disease between urology and gynecology and is treated by reconstructive surgery, which restores the organs to their original positions.
Case Presentation: An 82-year-old woman with bladder and uterine prolapse at POP-Q Stage IV was treated with an indwelling catheter for voiding dysfunction. Eventually, the catheter has been often spontaneously removed when pelvic organ prolapse occurs, resulting in a diagnosis of bladder inversion.
Article Synopsis
- Distant recurrence of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer is a rare and challenging condition to detect during follow-up.
- A 73-year-old woman with a history of bladder cancer developed tumors in her axilla, lungs, lymph nodes, and adrenal glands, initially misdiagnosed as metastatic breast cancer.
- The diagnosis was corrected to metastatic urothelial carcinoma after a biopsy, emphasizing the need to consider bladder cancer as a potential source of distant metastases even when there's no sign of recurrence in the urinary tract.
