Abstract:
Routine urine cytology has been performed for 809 male patients presenting with symptoms due to prostatic hypertrophy. In 6.42% of the cases, bladder tumor was revealed incidentally diagnosed by urine cytology. Cystoscopy and bladder biopsies were performed to confirm malignancy. The age of these patients ranged from 48-84 years (mean 65.2) and they complained mainly of irritative bladder symptoms. It is therefore strongly indicated that all patients with prostatic disease should have routine cytological examination of urine sediments.
