Abstract

Low grade superficial papillary carcinoma is a rare neoplasia during pregnancy. Here, we report the case of a pregnant woman with a low grade papillary carcinoma of bladder treated with Holmium laser vaporization. Urologic follow-up included monthly both urinary cytology and ultrasound evaluation of bladder, and failed to detect either cellular atypia or further bladder anomalies. The course of pregnancy was uneventful subsequently. Our case suggests that Holmium laser vaporization is a safe and effective procedure during pregnancy.
