title: [Calcified bladder lesions secondary to the instillation of mitomycin C].
abstract: We report on 10 cases of bladder wall calcification after mitomycin C instillation. The cystoscopic and microscopic features of these lesions are described. In our view, these lesions can be ascribed to the use of mitomycin C instillation therapy immediately after TUR. Because they are asymptomatic and occasionally present features of tumor recurrence, biopsy is advocated to determine the true nature of these lesions.
