Abstract
Cystoendoscopic examination and standard radiological techniques occasionally fail
to correctly establish that a pelvic mass is due to carcinoma arising within a urinary
bladder diverticulum. MR imaging in oblique planes can facilitate the diagnosis in
such cases by demonstrating the neck of the diverticulum. Also, T2-weighted images
allow differentiation between tumor within a diverticulum and a necrotic extravesical
mass.
