[Intradiverticular bladder tumors. Five case reports].

OBJECTIVE

To define the diagnostic and therapeutic approach to intradiverticular bladder tumour.

METHODS

Five cases are reported in which initial diverticulectomy was followed by cystectomy in one case, systemic MVAC chemotherapy in 2 cases and concomitant radiotherapy-chemotherapy (CRC) in 2 cases.

RESULTS

One patient has died (MVAC), one patient is in partial remission (MVAC) and three patients are in complete remission (1 cystectomy and 2 CRC).

CONCLUSION

Intradiverticular bladder tumour is a disease with a poor prognosis, whose histological features require aggressive treatment. Concomitant radiotherapy-chemotherapy appears to be a useful alternative.
