title: Leukemoid reaction in a patient with bladder and prostatic cancer.
abstract: Leukemoid reactions often are seen in patients with underlying malignancies but they have been reported infrequently in patients with urological malignancies. We report reactive leukocytosis and thrombocytosis in a patient with bladder and prostatic carcinoma. Both hematological abnormalities resolved with definitive surgical therapy. We also review other reported cases of leukemoid reactions in patients with urological malignancies.
