[Sonographic demonstration of an unusual bladder wall enlargement in a child with non-Hodgkin lymphoma].
An enlargement of the wall of the urinary bladder up to 1.5 cm is described within the course of a Non Hodgkin Lymphoma of a 15 years old girl. The development of a spastic neurogenic bladder is most probable due to tumour infiltration into the spinal cord. An additional factor for the enlargement of the bladder wall is a massive fungus cystitis. A cystotatica induced (Vindesin) neurogenic bladder as another cause for the development of this bladder change cannot excluded completely, but this is very unprobable. The cystography is the method of choice in the morphological evaluation of the bladder mucosa, whereas the sonography can visualize the bladder wall directly. This method has a high value in the diagnosis and follow up of pathologic changes of the urinary bladder in children.
