Abstract

We present a case report of cyclophosphamide-induced bladder tumor. The patient is a 31-year old male who had received 240 g of cyclophosphamide for 8 years because of the therapy for Wegener's granuloma. Transurethral resection of bladder tumor was performed and transitional cell carcinoma pT1G2 ascertained by histological examination. Forty-three foreign cases and nine Japanese cases including our case are herein reviewed.
