  • Title: Paravesical granulomas masquerading as bladder neoplasms: late complications of inguinal hernia repair.
    Author: Zilberman M, Laor E, Moriel E, Reid RE, Farkas A.
    Journal: J Urol; 1990 Mar; 143(3):489-91. PubMed ID: 2304159.
    Abstract:
    Paravesical granuloma formation after inguinal herniorrhaphy is a rare complication due to infected suture material. We present 8 cases of large paravesical granulomas masquerading as bladder tumors. Irritable symptoms predominate the symptom complex and accurate diagnosis can be obtained with multiple, sonographically guided, needle biopsies of the mass. An operation results in complete resolution of the symptoms, while nonoperative management may help to improve but not resolve the symptoms.
