Leukemoid reaction in a patient with bladder and prostatic cancer.
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.
