Over 7 years, 592 patients infected by Schistosoma haematobium were detected. Among these, 102 had a cystoscopy which found carcinoma in 3 patients, polypi in 1 and vesical "bilharzioma" (so-called pseudo-polyps) in 14. From the results of the biopsies and data from the medical literature the relationship between schistosomiasis and carcinoma in the schistosomial bladder is discussed, as well as the meaning of various lesions, such as malpighian metaplasia, papillomatous hyperplasia and glandular cystitis, seen in biopsy specimens from "bilharziomas". The cystoscopic diagnosis of one (or several) tumours resembling "bilharzioma" requires biopsy, resection and close monitoring.

Background: Schistosomiasis is endemic in 78 countries belonging to tropical and subtropical areas. However, autochthonous transmission of urogenital schistosomiasis was reported in Corsica (France) in 2013. We present evidence of autochthonous transmission of urogenital schistosomiasis in Almería (Spain) in 2003.

Objective: The aim of our study is to assess the diagnostic aspects of bladder bilharzioma in the Urology Department of Idrissa Pouye General Hospital (Senegal).
Materials And Methods: It is a descriptive study from January 2013 to December 2018. The patients included in the study were those who had anatomopathological examination of bladder biopsy that showed a schistosomiasis pseudotumor of the bladder.
On cystoscopy, a polypoidal tumor was observed and biopsied, and histology confirmed it to be an inflammatory mass with schistosoma eggs called a bilharzioma. We highlight this case to emphasize the silent destructive potential of schistosomiasis which the World Health Organization considers a Neglected Tropical Disease (NTD). A high degree of suspicion is often needed at the primary health care level to prevent morbidity.
