1 Multipathogenetic Origin of a Pelvic Mass
Marco Oderda, Paolo Mondino, Andrea Zitella, Dario Vigna, Chiara Fiorito, Donatella Pacchioni, Alessandro Tizzani, Paolo Gontero  European Urology  Volume 55, Issue 5, Pages (May 2009) DOI: /j.eururo Copyright © 2009 European Association of Urology Terms and Conditions

2 Fig. 1 Abdominal computed tomography picture showing a large bladder stone and a supravesical cystic mass. European Urology  , DOI: ( /j.eururo ) Copyright © 2009 European Association of Urology Terms and Conditions

3 Fig. 2 Intraoperative image showing the voluminous bladder cancer after removal of the stone. The supravesical mass has been removed. The thick bladder wall shows a large laceration that occurred during the surgical manoeuvres.

4 Fig. 3 Pathologic sample of the supravesical cystic mass: fibromuscular wall with sclerosis (deeper part in upper inset) and superficial ulceration (lower inset) at low power magnification. This pattern is consistent with a urachal cyst. European Urology  , DOI: ( /j.eururo ) Copyright © 2009 European Association of Urology Terms and Conditions

5 Fig. 4 Pathologic sample of a large papillary lesion surrounding the bladder stone and occupying most of the bladder surface: high-grade transitional cell carcinoma. European Urology  , DOI: ( /j.eururo ) Copyright © 2009 European Association of Urology Terms and Conditions

6 Fig. 5 Voiding phase of the videourodynamic investigation: bilateral grade 4 vesicoureteral reflux. The bladder neck is widely opened. European Urology  , DOI: ( /j.eururo ) Copyright © 2009 European Association of Urology Terms and Conditions

7 Fig. 6 Videourodynamic results show no signs of detrusor overactivity, a slight reduction of the vesical compliance, and a normal voiding phase (maximal flow rate: 43ml/s). The vesical catheter is ejected immediately after the onset of micturition. The morphology of the abdominal pressure curve shows a slight increase consistent with abdominal strain. During the voiding phase, the bladder neck relaxes normally without evidence of urethral stricture. Overall, urodynamic parameters rule out a bladder outlet obstruction.
