Abstract

A 74-year-old man was admitted for asymptomatic macroscopic hematuria. He had undergone transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) due to transitional cell carcinoma 30 years ago. Pelvic CT showed two invasive bladder tumors. A 5 cm tumor was on the dome and a 1 cm tumor was on the left lateral wall. TURBT was performed. Pathological examination revealed that they were leiomyosarcoma and transitional cell carcinoma. Radical cystectomy plus bilateral cutaneousureterostomy was performed. He died of lung metastases and local recurrence after 6 months.
