Abstract
A 71-year-old woman with the recent onset of urinary incontinence was found to have bilateral adnexal masses in the pelvis and a mass in the bladder. A diagnosis of transitional-cell carcinoma was made, and treatment with cystectomy and chemotherapy was advised. The patient sought a second opinion. She had been well except for a history of carcinoma of the breast 22 years earlier. A diagnostic procedure was performed.Keywords
