Huge bladder carcinoma successfully treated with hydrostatic pressure technique. A case report.
A 64-year-old man presented with acute urinary retention and anasarca due to noninvasive multiple papillary transitional cell carcinoma filling the whole bladder cavity and obstructing both ureters. He was treated with hydrostatic pressure distension. A dramatic response occurred, with complete disappearance of the tumour within one month of the treatment.
