Does a second bladder diverticulum require excision if the first contains a bladder tumor?

Published: September 1996

The multiplicity of bladder diverticula is well documented, yet review of the literature revealed only one reported case of cancer occurring in more than one diverticulum. To our knowledge, we report on the first long-term follow-up of a remaining bladder diverticulum after partial cystectomy for a transitional cell carcinoma in a contralateral diverticulum. The case report suggests that conservative management may be preferred for bladder diverticula not involved with tumor and routine prophylactic diverticulectomy may not be necessary.

Tumor in bladder diverticulum (TIBD) and tumor-associated hydronephrosis (TAH) were common causes for misclassification.

Introduction: Nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome (NBCCS) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder classically associated with multiple basal cell carcinomas, odontogenic keratocysts and skeletal anomalies. However, its significant phenotypic heterogeneity often delays the diagnosis. Here, we undertake the first comprehensive characterisation of NBCCS and congenital urinary tract anomalies.
