Tumor inside an inguinoscrotal bladder hernia.

OBJECTIVE

To describe two cases of urothelial tumors in inguinoscrotal bladder hernias and comment on the low incidence of this condition.

METHODS

Two patients were diagnosed and treated by partial cystectomy and hernia repair.

RESULTS

The clinical outcome of both patients was good at two and three years, respectively, and neither patient experienced hernia or tumor recurrence.

CONCLUSIONS

Inguinal bladder hernias are relatively common. However, few reports of tumor in the herniated bladder have been published. Treatment consists of tumor removal, hernia repair and treatment of any associated urethroprostatic condition.
