ABSTRACT
The relationship between bladder tumors and Schistosoma haematobium is well known, but only sporadic cases of bladder infection due to Schistosoma mansoni have been reported. In this case, a 48-year-old woman with macroscopic hematuria, dysuria and a palpable abdominal mass was investigated. Ultrasound showed a large exophytic mass in the bladder. Transurethral resection of the bladder revealed viable eggs of Schistosoma mansoni. The patient was treated clinically with oxamniquine and surgery was performed to resect the large mass. This case shows that schistosomiasis Mansoni in the bladder can simulate bladder cancer.
RESUMO
É bem conhecida a relação entre tumor vesical e Schistosoma haematobium, porém somente casos esporádicos de infecção vesical por Schistosoma mansoni foram relatados. Neste caso, uma mulher de 48 anos com hematúria macroscópica, disúria e massa abdominal palpável foi investigada, ultra-sonografia mostrou uma grande massa exofítica na bexiga. A ressecção transuretral de bexiga evidenciou ovos viáveis de Schistosoma mansoni. A paciente foi tratada clinicamente com oxaminiquine e uma cirurgia foi realizada para ressecar a grande massa. Este caso mostra que a esquistossomose mansônica vesical pode simular um câncer vesical.
