Asked 7/15/2008

I wan't to know that if a person 's ivp.kidney and bladder x-ray test shows that a bright white lump or mass is on the outside part of the person's bladder on the ivp.kidney and bladder x-ray screen is that bright white lump a bladder caner tumor.

I was born with a hernia in my right groin area in 1966 .And in 1978 i had hernia surgery to correct the problem.I was told that i have chronic microscopic hematuria by my doctor in 2002 and i still have today.But i didn't have any symptoms like pain or burning in my pelvic area or lowback when i was first diagnosed with chronic microscopic hematuria.But now after six years since i was diagnosed with chronic microscopic hematuria i am starting to have pains in my pelvic area and in my groin area and my lowback that radiates to my right buttock and my right leg.Also my urologist said that i have a varicoceli in 2002. And my urologist ordered me a ivp.kidney and bladder x-ray test in 2002 also and he said the ivp.kidney and bladder x-ray test were normal. But when he showed me the x-rays i saw a bright white lump or mass on the out side part of my bladder on the x-ray screen .Is that bright white lump or mass a bladder cancer tumor that's on the out side part of my bladder on the ivp.kidney and bladder x-ray screen,or is the bright white lump or mass on the outside part of my bladder on the ivp.x-ray screen normal.And also could that lump or mass on the outside part of my bladder could have been caused by my hernia surgery that i had in 1978 in my right groin area.And also could labetalol hcl .300mg .tablets high blood pressure medicine cause microscopic hematuria or could hernia surgery from thirty years ago cause chronic hematuria in a person thirty years later.

Answer 2/2 - Submitted 2/26/2010

I am a radiologic technologist and have performed many IVPs. A mass on the outside of the bladder would not show up on an IVP. The contast used only shows up in the kidneys, ureters, and bladder. If there is a tumor or cancer it is possible to spot on the xray without contrast due to the tissue thickness, but since you state it is on the outside of the bladder wall it may be hard to spot. This is because the bladder shows up within the obturator foramen on an xray of the abdomen (KUB). The surrounding bone structures could cause the tumor not to show on a diagnostic radiograph. The tumor would best be spotted with ultrasound or possibly MRI or CT. I hope this helps, and I hope u start to feel better soon. I have had bladder/kidney issues my whole life, and I know how painful and inconvenient they can be.

Sincerely,
Lenzi, B.S., R.T. (R)
