[Two cases of primary carcinoma developed in a vesical diverticulum treated with ileal neobladder for total bladder replacement].
Two cases of carcinoma developed in vesical diverticulum were encountered. Both these males, the first, 66-year-old and the second case, 68-year-old gentleman, visited our clinic with a complaint of asymptomatic gross hematuria. Total cystectomy was performed, and an ileal neobladder was constructed for total bladder replacement in both two cases. Pathological examination of the first case revealed transitional cell carcinoma, and the second case showed adenocarcinoma mixed with transitional cell carcinoma. Although primary carcinoma developed in vesical diverticulum was initially reported by Williams in 1883, adenocarcinoma is very rare. The diagnosis is often challenging and the prognosis is dire. Both our cases were successfully treated with total cystectomy and an ileal neobladder was constructed for total bladder replacement. Careful management and aggressive therapy for such patients may make even cure possible.
