title: Late chronic inflammatory reaction post-silastic sling insertion masquerading as an invasive bladder tumour.
abstract: There are various surgical techniques to treat female stress urinary incontinence. We present the case of a long-term complication in a lady, where a silastic sling caused a massive retropubic fibrous reaction, masquerading, clinically and radiologically, as a muscle invasive bladder cancer.
