Abstract

Last year, we reported that human papilloma virus type 16 genome (HPV 16 genome) was detected in a case (S. Y.) of bladder carcinoma in situ (bladder CIS) (Cancer Res., 1988). Since then, a number of bladder tumors other than CIS were searched for HPV genome. However, no HPV genome was detected in the bladder tumors. From the results, we consider that HPV may not have a relation with all types of bladder tumor but with only a part of it. In the current report, the case (S. Y.) is presented more precisely than before, in particular on the characteristic bladder lesion. The patient was a 40-year-old female with immunodeficiency and anemia who was referred from a hospital with a complaint of asymptomatic pyuria. Cystoscopic examinaiton revealed a bladder tumor, well-demarcated, white and velvety lesion with slight elevation. On November 25, 1987, she underwent total cystectomy, resection of the anterior vaginal wall and of a part of vulval skin, and ileal conduit formation. Postoperative course was stormy because of bleeding from the wounds and thrombophlebitis in the right femoral vein. In spite of the episodes, she eventually recovered and was discharged 2 months later. However she was readmitted 9 months later due to severe anemia which was ascribed to acute myelogenous leukemia. She is now on cancer chemotherapy for leukemia. © 1989, THE JAPANESE UROLOGICAL ASSOCIATION. All rights reserved.
