Abstract
Bacillus Calmette-Guerin was administered through the ileal conduit of a 63 -year-old man with upper tract recurrence of transitional cell carcinoma. S ubsequent computed tomography showed bilateral renal masses, which were gra nulomatous at pathologic examination. The bacilli likely reached the kidney s via proven ileoureteral reflux. Patients with reflux may benefit from ant ituberculous prophylaxis.
