Case Summary

Diagnosis:  Bladder Carcinoma


Clinical hints:

This patient was typical, presenting with hematuria.
He had a transitional cell carcinoma. Chronic cystitis and stones, smoking, and rarely analine dye exposure, are risk factors.



Radiological Pearls:
  • typical filling defect on IVP
     
  • irregular bladder mucosa
     
  • U/S is best for screening
     
  • CT and MRI best for staging
