RESUMEN
A 81-year-old male patient presented macroscopic hematuria. Flexible cystoscopy didn't give any diagnosis and urinary citology was negative. Total body CT showed a bladder inguinal hernia with diffuse thickening of the bladder wall, while abdomen bladder was regular. Diagnosis was difficult because flexible cystoscope could not reach the lesion, preventing diagnosis and bladder resection. We decided to reduce inguinal hernia surgically and perform a partial cystectomy removing the suspect neoplastic part of the bladder. Histologic examination showed muscle invasive squamous cell carcinoma with negative margins. After two years follow up, patient was free from bladder cancer, without any significative LUTS.
