Referral pattern of urological malignancy in Indonesia.
In the 10 years between 1976 and 1985, 202,111 patients were admitted to Hasan Sadikin Hospital, Bandung. Of these, 211 (0.1%) had a urological malignancy. Bladder tumours were commonest and constituted 39%. Testicular tumours accounted for 24%, renal tumours 18%, prostatic carcinoma 13% and penile tumours 6%. Bladder tumours were predominantly transitional cell carcinoma; only 2 patients presented with squamous cell tumours associated with bladder stones. In 50 cases of testicular tumour, 72% were seminomas and 22% were embryonal cell carcinomas. Wilms' tumours accounted for 21 of 39 cases of renal malignancy; the other 18 were renal carcinomas. No urogenital malignant disease was sufficiently common to be included in either the top 10 malignancy list or the male top 10 malignant diseases in Indonesia.
