Urinary bladder carcinoma

Advanced

squamocellular HIV-related urinary bladder carcinoma. Portal venous phase post-contrast images (b,c) confirmed urinary bladder almost entirely replaced by large (over 10 cm) mass with markedly heterogeneous, necrotic-like enhancement.

Multidetector

computed tomography evaluation of bladder lesions. Two cases of bladder cancer. a Axial urothelial phase CT image of a 67-year-old female patient with bladder squamous cell carcinoma shows an enhancing sessile or nodular mass (arrow) in the anterior wall of the bladder. b, c Axial contrast-enhanced CT images of a 68-year-old male patient with bladder adenocarcinoma show diffuse bladder wall thickening (arrow) along the anterior wall of the bladder and a large irregular enhancing intramural mass within the bladder. There is irregular soft tissue stranding (small arrow) from tumor invasion into the perivesical fat

Bladder cancer is a broad term used to describe all types of cancers affecting the urinary bladder:

transitional cell carcinoma (urinary bladder): most common primary neoplasm of the bladder
squamous cell carcinoma (urinary bladder): accounts for around 3-8% of all bladder cancers
adenocarcinoma (urinary bladder): accounts for around 1% of all bladder cancers
small cell carcinoma (urinary bladder): extremely rare

Staging

The Vesical Imaging-Reporting and Data System (VI-RADS) scoring system was created in 2018 to standardize imaging and reporting of bladder cancer staging with multiparametric MRI .
