We present the case of a 64-year-old man with intermittent hematuria dating back more than 6 months. A bladder mass was found on ultrasound, and endoscopic evaluation revealed a necrotic whitish intraluminal bladder mass (Figure 1). The patient underwent complete transurethral resection of this bladder mass. The anatomopathological examination found a necrotic inflammatory lesion, with ghosts of neoplastic cells but no viable neoplastic cells throughout (Figure 2).
Cross-sectional imaging revealed no additional disease. The patient was followed up with cystoscopy and computed tomography, and no recurrence was noted after 6 months.
Burned-out tumor, in which the initial tumor has completely or partially necrosed, is reported rarely in testicular cancer [1], but, to the best of our knowledge, has never previously been reported in bladder cancer.
