[Rectal linitis plastica with urologic presentation. Apropos of 3 cases].

The authors report three cases of rectal linitis plastica which presented in a novel manner by urological manifestations. The diagnosis of these lesions was based essentially upon deep rectal, bladder and prostate biopsies as well as CT scan. These three clinical cases illustrate the dreadful prognosis of rectal linitis plastica, agreeing with conclusions emerging from a review of the literature.
