Abstract

We report here two cases of bladder cancer in patients with chronic renal failure who had been treated with hemodialysis. Case 1: A 58-year-old male on hemodialysis for 3 years visited with a complaint of gross hematuria. Transurethral resection of the bladder tumor (TUR-Bt) was performed and histopathological examination showed grade 1, stage pTa transitional cell carcinoma (TCC). The patient was followed for 4 years postoperatively without recurrence. Case 2: A 64-year-old male with hemodialysis for 1 week was referred to our department with a gross hematuria. TUR-Bt was conducted and histopathological findings showed grade 2, stage pT1b TCC. In April, 1992, he revisited our hospital with bladder tamponade due to massive hematuria, and TUR-Bt was performed. Histopathologically, the tumors were grade 2, stage pT2 TCC. He was followed for 1 year without recurrence.
