Abstract
The authors report three cases of rectal linitis plastica which pesent ed in a novel manner by urological manifestations. The diagnosis of th ese lesions was based essentially upon deep rectal, bladder and prosta te biopsies as well as CT scan. These three clinical cases ilustrate t he dreadful prognosis of rectal linitis plastica, agreeing with conclu sions emerging from a review of the literature.
