A case of the patient with sigmoid bladder and recurrence of the urothelial
tumor in the urethra is presented. Young age and a kind of patienfs profession

Gel consisting of Mitomicin C in the dose of 7.5/9.0 of Amipotrizoat in 75%
contretion and 6.0 ml Natrosol was administered by one of the canals of a three-
