Article Description

The diverticula are mucosal outpouching of the bladder not having the muscle layer and contractile activity; so they are a place of urine stasis resulting into complications like stone formation and urinary tract infection. The majorities of bladder diverticula are acquired, secondary to bladder outlet obstruction. Carcinoma arising within urinary bladder diverticula has a poorer prognosis than do neoplasms that originate within the main bladder lumen because the thinner diverticular wall would allow earlier spread. Imaging plays an important role in diagnosing and staging the disease. We describe the radiological findings in a 77-year-old man patient with pathologically proved diverticular carcinoma.
