Overview

Bladder cancer must be differentiated from renal cancer, renal stones, prostate cancer, and cystitis.

Differential Diagnosis

The most common presentation of bladder cancer is hematuria; however in the advanced cases, the presentation can be bladder mass.

Bladder cancer must be differentiated from other causes of hematuria as in the below table:
