Bladder cancer within a direct inguinal hernia: CT demonstration

Abdominal Imaging volume 26, pages 664–666 (2001)Cite this article

Abstract

We present a case of a urothelial neoplasm arising within a direct bladder hernia in the inguinal canal. Bladder hernias are rarely found preoperatively and are exceptional sites of neoplasm. Spiral computed tomography with gaseous insufflation of the bladder demonstrated the bladder hernia and the extension of the neoplasm in the inguinal canal more accurately than other computed tomographic techniques with nonopacified and iodinated urine.
