[Intradiverticular bladder tumors. Five case reports].
OBJECTIVE
To define the diagnostic and therapeutic approach to intradiverticular bladder tumour.


METHODS
Five cases are reported in which initial diverticulectomy was followed by cystectomy in one case, systemic MVAC chemotherapy in 2 cases and concomitant radiotherapy-chemotherapy (CRC) in 2 cases.


RESULTS
One patient has died (MVAC), one patient is in partial remission (MVAC) and three patients are in complete remission (1 cystectomy and 2 CRC).


CONCLUSIONS
Intradiverticular bladder tumour is a disease with a poor prognosis, whose histological features require aggressive treatment. Concomitant radiotherapy-chemotherapy appears to be a useful alternative.
