Abstract

The use of an ileal conduit as a means of treatment for bladder cancer or dysfunction is widely used and understood. However, long term surveillance of that conduit has not been strongly established and set forth as a means of screening. We present a 76yo female with a history of neurogenic bladder secondary to paraplegia who underwent the formation of a "Koff" pouch as a conduit. Nineteen years later she presents with hematuria and was found to have adenocarcinoma originating in her conduit.

Keywords: Ileal conduit; Ileal conduit adenocarcinoma; Ileal pouch; Koff pouch; Urinary conduit malignancy.
