[Pelvic recurrence after radical cystectomy for bladder cancer].

Objectives: We report the case of a male patient who had undergone radical cystectomy and orthotopic neobladder for bladder cancer presenting with local recurrence eight months later.

Methods: Diagnostic tests included CT scan and ultrasound guided transrectal biopsy

Results: With the diagnosis of local recurrence he underwent chemotherapy and radiotherapy

Conclusions: The pelvic recurrence of transitional cell carcinoma after radical cystectomy is rare and prognosis is poor. It is frequently associated with advanced tumor stage. It should be treated by a multidisciplinary approach.
