Abstract
Background: Urinary bladder is the most common site of cancer in genitourinary tract. Various factors have been reported to affect the risk of eventually developing urological malignancies. Computed Tomography scan is a commonly used technique for staging bladder carcinoma. Aim: To determine the clinico-radiological aspects of bladder tumor at a tertiary care centre. Material and Methods: A total of 30 patients already diagnosed and with signs and symptoms suggestive of urinary bladder carcinoma were included in the study. Signs and symptoms were recorded. Radiological imaging studies were carried out on all patients. Results: Majority (69.9%) of the cases were in the age group of 51-70 years. Male patients accounted for 93.3% cases and female for 6.6% cases. Most of the cases were smokers 73.3% and abitual Tea and Coffee drinking in 83.3% cases. Haematuria was the commonest presenting feature complained by 93.3% cases. The tumours showed an average attenuation value of 20-50 HU in NECT which showed heterogenous pattern of enhancement of average 21-40 HU in CECT. Conclusion: Carcinoma of urinary bladder is mainly a disease of the elderly. An overwhelming number of patients had history of smoking, tea drinking. Haematuria was the main presenting feature.
