- Is the abnormal bladder wall appearance due to its small size (<4.0cm) or should I be concerned about potential neoplasia (LSA, TCC)? Urinary tract infecions is also on the list and urinalysis is pending.

Im not seeing a big deal
Im not seeing a big deal regarding the bladder wall as it appears curvilinear but there is considerable debris which can bne exfoliative from the kidneys, uti, blood clot/coagulopathy… I would do a ua and culture and examine the kidneys well.
