Enterovesical Fistula Secondary to Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Bladder

Urology Case Reports
William Sellers, Robert Fiorelli

Abstract

Enterovesical fistulas are a well-known complication of inflammatory and malignant bowel disease. Bladder carcinoma, however, is an extremely rare etiology. We describe a case of squamous cell carcinoma of the bladder with an enterovesical fistula. This rare phenomenon has never been previously reported in western literature. We review the diagnosis, work up and treatment of enterovesical fistulas. Unfortunately, the prognosis for these highly invasive tumors is very poor and the treatment is often palliative. The high morbidity and mortality makes management of these patients exceptionally challenging.
