Abstract
We here report a case of bladder urothelial carcinoma, a rare tumor in subjects less than 40 years, as well as our therapeutic experience. The study involved a 37-year old patient with a history of urinary tract infection and of staying at a riparian area (bilharzia) presenting with hypogastralgia and total macroscopic hematuria. Clinical and paraclinical assessment showed voluminous bladder mass suggesting infiltrative tumor without local or distant lymph node or organic involvement. Surgical management was based on resection of bladder tumor and biopsy followed by total cystectomy with substitutive ileal enterocystoplasty. The postoperative course was uneventful. The patient also underwent adjuvant chemotherapy and vitamin B-12 therapy. Clinical and paraclinical assessment, performed after 6 and 12 months, showed no recurrence.
