Spontaneous bladder rupture due to bladder carcinoma: A case report required emergency radical cystectomy
We report a case of spontaneous bladder rupture due to bladder carcinoma. A 52-year-old female presented in septic shock, and computed tomography revealed free air in the subphrenic space and a mass in the middle of the pelvis.

| Sumario: | We report a case of spontaneous bladder rupture due to bladder carcinoma. A 52-year-old female presented in septic shock, and computed tomography revealed free air in the subphrenic space and a mass in the middle of the pelvis. The exploratory laparotomy helped to confirm a definitive diagnosis: bladder rupture due to bladder carcinoma. She underwent a radical cystectomy and survived. Surgical intervention is recommended to manage carcinomatous bladder rupture. Timely and accurate diagnosis is essential to optimize the patient's outcomes. The possibility of spontaneous bladder rupture should not be overlooked as a differential diagnosis in cases of the acute abdomen. |
