Leukaemoid reaction in a case of leiomyosarcoma of the bladder.
The first case of leiomyosarcoma of the urinary bladder associated with leukaemoid reaction is herein presented. There was no secondary involvement of bone marrow to explain the leukaemoid reaction. It may have been due either to tumour necrosis or to an unknown humoral substance elaborated by the tumour.
