Abstract
We report a case of leukemoid reaction associated with tumor recurrenc e and rapid progression in a patient following resection of a high-gra de transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder. The clinical, pathologi c, and etiologic features of tumor-associated leukemoid reactions are emphasized. In the setting of recurrent carcinoma, a leukemoid reactio n suggests highly aggressive or metastatic disease.
