We present a pregnant woman with painless hematuria during routine obstetric evaluation and diagnosis of bladder carcinoma. The patient had no symptoms before the pregnancy. A urinalysis displayed hematuria. Ultrasound showed a mass arising from wall of the bladder. The patient underwent a cystoscopy and biopsy, which revealed carcinoma of the bladder. She underwent transurethral resection of the tumor. Histological diagnosis was low-grade papillary urothelial carcinoma without evidence of lamina propria invasion. Follow-up cystoscopies on postpartum period showed no evidence of recurrent tumor. Pregnancy is not a contraindication for treatment of bladder cancer.
