ABSTRACT
The bladder's cancer is frequent in West Africa. Urinary schistosomiasis endemicity helps to explain this high incidence. It is a pathology of late diagnosis, little or badly explored by imaging. Through a retrospective survey of 71 patients' files aged in average of 51.7 years, all having a bladder's tumour which is clinically shown by an haematuria, the major symptom, often by a pelvic volume, and who have all gone through an abdominal echography and/or intravenous urography (IVU) and/or retrograde urethrocystography (UCR), we have tried to point out the role of imaging in the caring of this pathology in our working context. Imaging, with a 98.5% sensibility for sonography and 100% for IVU, took part in all the cases to the diagnosis, to the search of urinary signs of reflux, associated signs authorizing a diagnostic orientation, but was excluded from the evolutive follow-up due to the poverty of our populations. So, despite some limits specific to the survey, particularly the absence of historadiological comparison for all the files, echography and IVU with cystography have always led to malignancy diagnosis. Therefore they should be requested for any patient consulting for haematuria.
