A rare case of spontaneous bladder wall abscess mimicking bladder tumour in young women

Abstract

Introduction Abscess of the bladder wall is a rare urological disorder, with a few cases recorded in the literature. The finding of a bladder wall mass via computed tomography (CT) imaging in a visiting patient is the subject of this report. Case discussion A 37-year-old woman with persistent pain in the suprapubic area and lower urinary tract symptoms was examined as a case study. Through a CT scan revealed an inhomogeneous structure in the anteroinferior part of the right bladder. A cystoscopy procedure followed by transurethral resection was performed to remove the mass, which was found to be an abscess. A Foley catheter with irrigation was administered after surgery, and the patient goes home in three days. Conclusion the patient had no symptoms or discomfort in the lower urinary tract after follow-up. Despite the rarity of bladder wall abscesses, cystoscopy can be used to aid diagnosis. Transurethral resection of bladder wall can reduce the mass and eliminate the possibility of malignancy.
