Bladder diverticulum is defined as the herniation of the bladder mucosa and submucosa through the muscular layer. Diverticula are usually asymptomatic and are often diagnosed incidentally. In this case report, we described a giant bladder diverticulum presenting with bilateral inguinal pain, dysuria, and palpable mass in the abdomen. Radiological imaging methods (ultrasonography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, voiding cystourethrography) were used for further evaluation along with laboratory examinations. After being diagnosed with giant bladder diverticulum, the patient underwent surgery. Postoperative control imaging methods were performed.
