title: Simultaneously occurring abdominal aortic aneurysm and invasive transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder and their synchronous management.
abstract: We report the case of a 70-year-old man who presented with an abdominal aortic aneurysm and invasive transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder. Synchronous surgical treatment was deemed necessary because of the iliac extension of the aneurysm. Radical cystectomy preceded the repair of the abdominal aortoiliac aneurysm and the bilateral cutaneous ureterostomy.
