Management Alternatives

Intravesical bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) therapy is the most effective treatmentfor high-risk superficial bladder cancer. Severe systemic complications are rare, but may occur in approximately 1% of cases. We report a severe complicationof intravesical BCG: a disseminated Mycobacterium bovis infectionwith biopsy-proven granulomatous hepatitis in a patient with bladder cancer. We also elaborate on the different management alternatives.

Risk Of Relapse

BCG intra-vesical instillation is the standard of care for superficial bladder cancer at high risk of relapse and progression. Yet, this treatment can cause dysimmune complications. Osteoarticular manifestations related to BCG therapy are rare and frequently mild. We report a rare case of a severe form successfully treated with Rituximab.
