A 67-year-old male was admitted with a three-month history of voiding difficulty. Prostate specific antigen remained within the normal limit. Under the diagnosis of benign prostatic hypertrophy, transurethral resection of prostate was performed. Pathological examination of the resected specimens of the prostate revealed transitional cell carcinoma. Two courses of systemic M-VAC (methotrexate, vinblastine, doxorubicin, cisplatin) chemotherapy were performed, followed by cystoprostatourethrectomy, pelvic lymphadenectomy, and ileal conduit construction. Now one year has elapsed, with no clinical signs of recurrence.
