Radical Cystectomy and Ileal Conduit Diversion for Bladder Urothelial Carcinoma With Sarcomatoid and Squamous Variants After Renal Transplantation

Abstract

Renal transplantation is the optimal treatment for patients with end-stage renal disease. However, the incidence of malignancies, especially urological malignancies, increases after renal transplantation due to long-term immunosuppressive treatments. We report a case of radical cystectomy and ileal conduit diversion in a 39-year-old female patient who developed invasive bladder carcinoma with extravesical extension three years after renal transplantation. Radical cystectomy and ileal conduit diversion surgery are feasible options for patients who developed invasive bladder cancer after renal transplantation and are effective methods for the protection of renal functions in the short-term follow-up period.
