Incidental Findings Of Polypoid Cystitis In A 6-Year Old Child Without Any History Of Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms And Previous Urinary Catheterization.

A 6-year-old boy presented to ER with acute pain in right iliac fossa without any history of lower urinary tract symptoms, haematuria and urinary catheterization. Ultrasound showed loculated cystic area in pelvis with non-visualized appendix. A CT scan abdomen and pelvis revealed loculated, multi-septated cystic lesion in right hemipelvis thought to be a collection from possible appendicular inflammation / perforation. The laboratory findings revealed raised CRP and normal urine routine examination and culture. Exploratory laparotomy revealed cystic urinary bladder growth involving dome with normal appendix, partial cystectomy was done. Histopathology confirmed polypoid cystitis with no evidence of malignancy. This is a very rare presentation of polypoidal cystitis, not previously reported in literature.

Small-cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the urinary bladder: A case report.

Primary neuroendocrine carcinomas of the urinary bladder are rare. A 60-year-old male presented with gross hematuria for the past 3 months. Diagnostic flexible cystoscopy revealed a papillary lesion above the right ureteric orifice. Transurethral resection of bladder tumor was performed and resected tissue was sent for histopathology that revealed high-grade urothelial carcinoma with small-cell neuroendocrine differentiation. Lamina propria, muscularis propria, and perineural invasion was seen which was later also confirmed by immunohistochemistry. The patient received neoadjuvant four cycles of chemotherapy and then underwent radical cystoprostatectomy with ileal conduit. The patient's recovery was uneventful and he is on regular follow-up from the past 12 months without any disease recurrence. Early detection and aggressive management can improve the survival and prognosis of these patients.
