title: Stauffer syndrome in transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To present the case of a woman with the diagnosis of transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder and Stauffer's syndrome.
  
  
  METHODS
  The clinical and radiological files were analyzed, and a bibliographic review was performed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  We present an 82 year old female with a four month history of hematuria, presenting in the emergency room where abnormal hepatic  profile was documented. The diagnosis of bladder tumor was established and she underwent transurethral bladder resection. The pathological report  showed transitional cell bladder cancer, with complete resection. Metastasis and infectious hepatic dysfunction were discarded. The hepatic profile  became normal days later, so Stauffer's syndrome diagnosis was performed.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This is the first report to our knowledge of this paraneoplastic syndrome in transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder.
