Abstract:
A 81-year-old man was admitted to our university for a second opinion after diagnosis of bladder melanoma in December 2014. His medical history included arterial hypertension, hypothyroidism, peripheral arterial disease treated with a bypass, and corneal transplantation. His medical history was negative for malignant melanoma. He experienced gross hematuria in the absence of any other clinical manifestations, and urine cytology identified atypical cells. The patient underwent transurethral resection of the bladder with diagnosis of melanoma.
