ABSTRACT: This case report is about a 61 years old woman who consulted for hematuria, the cystoscopy performed revealed an intra-diverticular bladder tumor. After tumor resection, an anatomopathological exam revealed the urothelial carcinoma pT1. A few months later she presented with a local reccurence of bladder tumor. We proposed her anterior pelvectomy but she refused it and she was lost to follow-up. The aim of this study is to show the anatomopathological and evolutionary characteristics and the therapeutic difficulties of IDBT. These tumors are in the majority of cases infiltrating from the outset with a high potential for recurrence after transurethral resection of bladder (TURB). The standard treatments are TURB and total cystectomy.
