Abstract
A 30-year-old female was admitted in emergency with acute urinary retention due to bladder tumour prolapsed from the external urethral orifice. The patient underwent immediate endoscopic surgery via suprapubic percutaneous approach. The histological examination confirmed a superficial highly differentiated transitional cell bladder carcinoma. During the 6-year follow-up no evidence of local recurrence or metastatic tumour spread was revealed. The comprehensive Medline search confirmed that this is the fourth case of bladder tumour prolapsed from the external urethral orifice, reported so far. The case deserves the interest of practising urologists because of the exceptional rarity of the entity and the unconventional treatment approach which involves using a percutaneous suprapubic endoscopic technique. Based on the results achieved, we can recommend this unconventional endoscopic approach as specifically indicated in certain situations.
