title: Carcinoma of the scrotum associated with rubber urinals. Case report.
abstract: A paraplegic patient, who had worn a rubber urinal in close contact with the scrotum for over 40 years, developed carcinoma of the scrotum. It is likely that this is a previously unsuspected example of chemical carcinogenesis, and in view of this, we believe that the use of rubber urinals should be discontinued.
