Cutaneous granulomatous reaction post intravesical BCG installation: a case report
Authors
Abstract:
Intravesical instillation of Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) hasbecome an established adjuvant treatment for superficial bladdercarcinoma. This treatment is associated with a relatively high rateof side effects which are mostly reversible spontaneously or canbe treated symptomatically. Serious systemic side effects are lessfrequent. One of rare complications is granulomatous cutaneousreaction. We report a 50-year-old man with disseminated papulesand plaques following intravesical BCG.
