Vesical fungus balls (fungal bezoars) by Candida albicans mimicking urothelial carcinoma in a patient with diabetic neurogenic bladder
2018
Fungus balls or fungal bezoars in the urinary bladder are extremely rare diseases, of which less than 20 previous cases have been described in the literature since the first case was reported in 1961.1 The most common predisposing factor for this opportunistic infection is diabetes mellitus.2 We herein report a case of bladder candidiasis initially misdiagnosed as bladder cancer based on its MRI findings.
