    AbstractA 68-year-old woman presented with urinary pain and frequency. Cystoscopy, intravenous pyelography and magnetic resonance imaging showed a huge bladder mass and hydronephrosis of the left kidney. Transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TUR-Bt) was done. Histopathological findings of TUR-biopsy was high grade transitional cell carcinoma. Post operatively, the laboratory examination showed marked leukocytosis with a maximum of 99,600/mm3 in the peripheral blood and a high level of granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF), 70 pg/ml in the serum (normal: less than 9.8 pg/ml). Serum calcium level increased gradually and parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTH-rP) revealed high, 8.4 pMol/l (normal: less than 0.6 pMol/l). The tumor cells were positive for G-CSF and PTH-rP immunohistochemical staining. She died of the disease 46 days after the operation. This is the third case of G-CSF and PTH-rP producing bladder tumor in the literature.
