Diverticulum of the bladder simulating ovarian cyst: pitfalls in the differential diagnosis

Diverticulum of the bladder simulating ovarian cyst: pitfalls in the differential diagnosis

A 69-year-old Para 2 attended the outpatient department for an ultrasound scan of the pelvis. Her medical history revealed 3 lower urinary tract infections in the preceding months. Vaginal ultrasound of the pelvis showed a multilocular cyst measuring 17 x 17 x 17 cm, apparently originating from one...
