Abstract

We report a case of primary transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of
a bladder diverticum along with a literature review. A 55-year-old
male presented with painless gross hematuria. A histological diagnosis
of TCC within a bladder diverticulum was made following
cystoscopical examination. Initially transurethral resection of bladder
tumour with subsequent intravesical chemotherapy followed.
As a result of recurrence and in view of bladder-sparing therapy, a
distal partial cystectomy was performed. This report demonstrates
that conservative bladder-sparing treatment can be achieved and
subsequently followed by vigilant cystoscopy.
