Enterovesical fistula caused by a bladder squamous cell carcinoma

World J Gastroenterol. 2009 Sep 7;15(33):4215-7. doi: 10.3748/wjg.15.4215.

Abstract

Enterovesical fistulas are not uncommon in patients with inflammatory or malignant colonic disease, however, fistulas secondary to primary bladder carcinomas are extremely rare. We herein reported a patient presenting with intractable urinary tract infection due to enterovesical fistula formation caused by a squamous cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder. This patient underwent en bloc resection of the bladder dome and involved ileum, and recovered uneventfully without urinary complaint. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case reported in the literature.
