Abstract
A case of cancer of the urinary bladder in a 59-year-old man with incomplete L4 paraplegia is reported. He was injured in 1970. Since then, the case has been followed up on at our department. In October 1989, urinalysis showed microscopic hematuria. Urine cytology was class II -III. Endoscopically, a tumor was found contiguous to the right-side wall of the trigone and seemed to have invaded the trigone. Histopathological findings of the biopsied specimens of the tumor revealed TCC grade 1. He was treated by TUC and chemotherapy with PEP, MMC, VDR and THP-ADM. He has been free of disease for 12 months, but a solitary tumor reccurred on the left wall (TCC) ADC? G2), and treated by TUC.
In this report we also review the referreces hitherto made to paraplegic bladder cancer.
