Popis: Vesicocutaneous fistulas are rare entities that could be either congenital or acquired. The diagnosis is usually based on clinical findings and imaging modalities. While most vesicocutaneous fistulas heal spontaneously, it is important to decrease the intravesicular pressure by diverting the urine. Moreover, surgical options are present to remove the fistula. In this case report, we highlight the case of a 67-year-old male, with recurrent obstructive cystitis and colorectal adenocarcinoma who developed a vesicocutaneous fistula. Decompression of the bladder led to complete closure of the tract.
