Abstract
We report a case of spontaneous bladder rupture due to bladder carcinoma. A 62-year-old man presented to the emergency department with acute urine retention; two days later, the patient presented with abdominal distension and a large intraperitoneal effusion on CT scan, as well as a breccia in the bladder.
Exploratory laparotomy confirmed a definitive diagnosis: bladder rupture due to bladder carcinoma. He underwent radical cystectomy.
Surgery is recommended to treat carcinomatous bladder rupture. Rapid diagnosis is essential to optimize patient outcomes. The possibility of spontaneous bladder rupture should not be overlooked as a differential diagnosis in cases of acute abdomen.
