ABSTRACT

The long progression of some of the following cases appears to contradict the common perception that the presence of an intravesical foreign body would be an unbearable condition. Diagnostic delay on the part of the urologist is often due to abnormal alterations hidden by the patient for personal reasons, who often hopes the problem will resolve on its own, thus resulting in said delay and complications. Two cases and their management are presented.
