Abstract

We report a case of carcinoma in situ of urothelial carcinoma (UC) developing in an ileal neobladder. Some cases of secondary UC in the ileal segment of a urinary diversion have been reported. However, none were cases of carcinoma in situ. After cystectomy for bladder cancer, a 73-year-old man developed UC at the left ureteral-neobladder and urethral-neobladder anastomoses. Left nephroureterectomy, resection of the neobladder, and total urethrectomy were performed. The pathologic examination revealed UC (papillary, grade 3) at these anastomoses and carcinoma in situ in the ileal neobladder.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a case report, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
