Direct invasion of urinary bladder from sigmoid colon cancer: CT findings

J Comput Assist Tomogr. 1992 Sep-Oct;16(5):709-12. doi: 10.1097/00004728-199209000-00007.

Abstract

Radiological findings in three cases of sigmoid colon carcinoma invading the urinary bladder are reported. An irregular spiculated margin or nodular indentations in region of bladder dome were seen on intravenous urography. A soft tissue mass contiguous with an irregularly thickened urinary bladder wall and a circumferentially thickened sigmoid colon wall were demonstrated on CT and sonography and led to the correct diagnosis.
