Abstract

Chemotherapy is the treatment of choice for a metastatic urothelial bladder cancer. We here report a rare case of metastatic bladder cancer associated with Kaposi sarcoma posing a serious risk of aggravation of the new neoplasia. It was necessary to entrust the patient to his family.

La chimiothérapie est le traitement indiqué pour un carcinome urothélial métastatique de la vessie, la coexistence d'une tumeur de vessie métastatique avec un sarcome de Kaposi pose un sérieux problème d'aggraver le nouveau néoplasie, un cas rare où n'avons pu que confier le patient à sa famille.

Keywords: Kaposi sarcoma; Metastatic urothelial bladder cancer; chemotherapy; immunodepression.
