RESUMEN
Se presenta el caso clínico de una mujer de 60 años que acude al Servicio de Ginecología y Obstetricia del Hospital Padre Hurtado, bajo la sospecha de un mioma cervical pequeño. Se realiza una ecografía transva-ginal la cual evidencia incidentalmente un tumor vesical sólido, vascularizado, intravesical y dependiente de la mucosa. La paciente no refería espontáneamente hematuria. El estudio urológico definitivo es de un carcinoma papilar de células transicionales. El tratamiento endoscópico logró la resección completa del tumor. El hallazgo ecográfico permitió realizar el diagnóstico en una forma poco habitual para esta enfermedad, aprovechando una instancia definida para otros fines. Se rescata la importancia de observar detenidamente todas las estructuras pélvicas al alcance visual del equipo de ecografía.
ABSTRACT
We present a clinical case of a 60 year-old patient, who concurs to the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of the Padre Hurtado Hospital under the suspect of a uterine-cervical myoma. A transvaginal ultrasonography was performed which incidentally revealed a bladder tumor which was solid, vascularized, clearly inside of the bladder and attached to the bladder mucosa. The definitive urological study was compatible with a transitional cells papillary carcinoma. The woman did not refer hematuria spontaneously. The finding allowed an unusual diagnosis in an ultrasound aimed for different purposes, which underlines the potential use of this method in other pelvic organs.
