Abstract
Bladder cancer is one of the leading malignancies in the world associated with significant morbidity and mortality. However, several benign lesions of the bladder can mimic urothelial carcinoma clinically and radiologically owing to overlapping signs and symptoms. Thus, rendering a correct diagnosis is imperative as it will have a significant impact on the management of patients. We present an amalgamation of five cases having a high suspicion of urothelial malignancy, which were subsequently diagnosed as benign entities with better prognosis and thus warranted a different therapeutic approach.
