ABSTRACT

Aims One of the diseases of the urinary system is bladder diverticulum. Bladder ‎diverticula are seen in different sizes, individual or multiple. These lesions may ‎be congenital and create symptoms during childhood, which are usually ‎diagnosed during this period, or may be acquired, resulting from narrowing of the ‎urinary tract from the bladder (for example, prostate hypertrophy). Occasionally, ‎diverticula are diagnosed in abdominal and pelvic imaging procedures, without ‎causing a problem for the patient.‎ The case reported is a bloody diverticulum presented as pelvic mass and not ‎detected before surgery. The patient suffered from abdominal pain and did not ‎describe the symptoms of urinary tract infection. In the imaging procedures, the ‎pelvic mass has been reported without communication with the bladder, and only ‎during laparoscopy, we noticed the association of mass with the bladder, and the ‎patient was subjected to diverticulectomy.‎
Conclusion Diseases do not necessarily reveal themselves with the typical symptoms ‎mentioned in the texts, and the important point is that paraclinical methods are ‎not always accurate and recognizable. Laparoscopy can be considered as a precise ‎diagnostic method and fully reveals the organs of the abdomen and pelvis.‎
