Papillary-like bladder calcifications following intravescical mitomycin C. A case report

Minerva Urol Nefrol. 1993 Dec;45(4):171-3.

Abstract

We report a case of bladder calcifications after intravescical mitomycin C in patient with recurrent superficial multifocal transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the bladder. The endoscopic appearance was particularly interesting since these calcifications occurred only in the areas of previous transurethral resection (TUR).
