Unusual complication of bladder prolapse with subsequent diagnosis of urothelial carcinoma leading to a necrotizing soft tissue infection after radical cystectomy.

There is lack of information in the literature on long-term complications of suprapubic catheters. The most common complications include urinary tract infection, bladder calculi, urine leakage and neoplastic changes. We report a case of an unusual complication of bladder prolapse, with subsequent diagnosis of urothelial carcinoma, leading to a necrotizing soft tissue infection after a radical cystectomy in a patient with long-term catheterization and its management. Due to the rarity of this complication, its management has not been well studied. In this particular case, the logical indication was radical cystectomy due to the presence of bladder necrosis.
