bladder calcification (mnemonic)

A simple mnemonic to recall the common causes of bladder calcification is:

• SCRITT

Mnemonic

• S: schistosomiasis
• C: cytotoxic: see radiation- and chemotherapy-induced cystitis
• R: radiation: see radiation- and chemotherapy-induced cystitis
• I: interstitial cystitis
• T: tuberculosis
• T: transitional cell carcinoma

Bladder mucinous adenocarcinomas arising from urachal remnants are more likely to have calcification cf. urothelial carcinomas; however, they are much less common tumors in the bladder.
