“…They are, however, extremely rare in the urinary bladder [8,9]. Since the first case reported by Davis in 1949 [10], only twelve cases (Table 1), to the best of our knowledge, have been reported in the literature up to now [11,12], with only one case found in the literature associated with PJS [13]. Most cases tend to occur near to the trigone [8,9], while the mass in our case was at the bladder neck.…”

“…With the rarity of the lesion, they set guidelines for the follow-up schedule of such patients. As such, certain reported cases have advocated cystoscopy to be done every three months for a year, then yearly for four years [13], a follow-up examination ranging from four months to five years [14], or simply a long-term periodic cystoscopy as surveillance-since the malignant potential of these lesions is as such unknown [11]. Our patient has had only one check cystoscopy done 3 months after the resection, and no growths were seen on check cysto.…”

Bladder hamartoma in Peutz-Jeghers syndrome: a rare case report

Background Peutz-Jeghers syndrome is an autosomal dominant disease characterized by mucocutaneous pigmentation and hamartomatous polyps in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). There have also been cases of extra GIT polyps such as the renal pelvis, urinary bladder, lungs and nares. Bladder hamartoma is an extremely rare finding, with only 12 cases described in the literature up to now. The rarity of the condition necessitates a comprehensive compilation of managements up to now so as to provide a better tool for the treatment of such conditions in the future. Case presentation A twenty-year-old male, known to have Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, presented to us complaining of obstructive urinary symptoms. A urethrogram done showed a filling defect at the base of the urinary bladder. The mass was resected transurethrally, and histopathology revealed a hamartoma of the bladder. The patient has since remained tumor-free on follow-up. Conclusions Transurethral resection of the bladder mass proved to be an effective therapy in this patient with no recurrence on the patient’s follow-up till now. There is still, however, a dearth of knowledge regarding the management of bladder hamartomas owing to the extreme rarity of the case.

“…Since Davis 1 reported the first case in 1949, eight cases diagnosed as bladder hamartoma, including one case with gastrointestinal polyposis, have been reported in the literature (Table 1). [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] The hematopyuria associated with infection or inflammatory reaction in the bladder is a characteristic clinical sign in most reported cases. Although the precise mechanism of the development of the bladder hamartoma is not clear, Davis suggested that the hamartoma may be a reaction secondary to the chronic inflammatory process.…”

Background: Hamartomas of the urinary bladder are extremely rare. We report on a case in a 58-year-old female who presented with the chief complaint of pain on urination. Methods/Results: Cystoscopy revealed a solid tumor on the left posterior wall of the bladder. Transurethral resection of the tumor failed to provide a definitive pathological diagnosis of the tumor. Thus, we performed partial cystectomy. The pathological diagnosis was hamartoma arising from the urinary bladder. Conclusion: This is the ninth case diagnosed as urinary bladder hamartoma to be reported in the literature.

“…This tumor can occur in both genders and at various ages, but the youngest reported patient was 8 months of age. It was isolated or seen in association with systemic disease as Peutz-Jeghers syndrome [4], Beckwith-Wiedermann syndrome [5], or schistosomiasis [9]. Most of the patients had similar clinical presentations, with gross hema- Fig.…”

Hamartoma of the urinary bladder: case report and review of the literature

et al. 1999

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Bladder hamartoma is a rare benign entity with only eight cases reported in the literature thus far, and whose general imaging features have not, to our knowledge, been previously discussed. The purpose of this report is to review the literature and to discuss the imaging findings in one case of bladder hamartoma where US features were those of an inhomogeneous solid mass with an unechogenic center, which was in accordance with the CT findings of a soft tissue mass with central inhomogeneous enhancement due to central necrosis.
