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
