Tumor inside an inguinoscrotal bladder hernia

OBJECTIVE: To describe two cases of urothelial tumors in inguinoscrotal bladder hernias and comment on the low incidence of this condition. METHODS: Two patients were diagnosed and treated by partial cystectomy and hernia repair. RESULTS: The clinical outcome of both patients was good at two and three years, respectively, and neither patient experienced hernia or tumor recurrence. CONCLUSIONS: Inguinal bladder hernias are relatively common. However, few reports of tumor in the herniated bladder have been published. Treatment consists of tumor removal, hernia repair and treatment of any associated urethroprostatic condition.
