[Pelvic recurrence after radical cystectomy for bladder cancer].
OBJECTIVE
We report the case of a male patient who had undergone radical cystectomy and orthotopic neobladder for bladder cancer presenting with local recurrence eight months later.


METHODS
Diagnostic tests included CT scan and ultrasound guided transrectal biopsy


RESULTS
With the diagnosis of local recurrence he underwent chemotherapy and radiotherapy


CONCLUSIONS
The pelvic recurrence of transitional cell carcinoma after radical cystectomy is rare and prognosis is poor. It is frequently associated with advanced tumor stage. It should be treated by a multidisciplinary approach.
