Bladder adenocarcinoma during pregnancy: a case report.
BACKGROUND
Renal tract neoplasms account for only 15% of all cases of hematuria and are rare before the age of 40. Few cases of bladder carcinoma diagnosed during pregnancy have been reported.


METHODS
Adenocarcinoma of the dome of the bladder caused hematuria beginning at 20 weeks' gestation but was not diagnosed until the postpartum period.


CONCLUSIONS
Hematuria during pregnancy is usually associated with infection. However, neoplasms must be included in the differential diagnosis.
