Two Malignant Neoplasms in a Radical Cystectomy Specimen: A Case Report

Abstract

Radical cystectomy is a surgical treatment procedure for invasive bladder cancer. In this operation, the bladder, surrounding organs and lymph nodes are removed from the patient.
In this case, radical cystectomy was performed on a patient with a diagnosis of urethral carcinoma and histopathological evaluation was performed on the specimen.
In conclusion, this case was interesting because a prostate adenokarsinoma much larger than the bladder tumor was detected in the patient who did not come to regular follow-ups with the diagnosis of bladder tumor and also prostate adenocarcinoma metastasis was detected in the metastatic lymph node.
