Overview
Affiliations
A 45-year-old man with hematopyuria detected at another hospital visited our department for further examination. Endoscopic examination revealed a disintegration abscess between the bladder neck and prostatic urethra. Transurethral biopsy demonstrated squamous cell carcinoma of the bladder. He received 40 Gy of radiation combined with M-VAC (methotrexate, vinblastine, dovorubicin cisplatin) chemotherapy. Pathologically, a complete response was found when he underwent total cystourethrectomy. There has been no sign of recurrence for one and a half years postoperatively.
