BLADDER - Diverticulum

Description
The specimen shows a bladder with a slightly thickened wall and a massive diverticulum communicating with the bladder through an opening approximately 1 cm in diameter.
The prostate is moderately enlarged but the bladder itself shows little evidence of thickening of the wall. One wonders therefore if this diverticulum is not of congenital origin rather than being secondary to obstruction.
