Bladder carcinoma evaluated by transvaginal ultrasonography.
Transvaginal ultrasonography is a less invasive examination method than transrectal and transurethral ultrasonography for women. However, in spite of the use of transrectal and transurethral ultrasound for the detection of a bladder tumor being well known to urologists, we found no previous studies on transvaginal ultrasonography as a method to evaluate bladder carcinoma. We report a case in which transvaginal ultrasonography contributed to the screening and evaluation of bladder carcinoma.
