Description
Summary:A man in his 70s visited our hospital for gross hematuria. He was diagnosed with invasive urothelial carcinoma (cT3N2M0) and underwent total cystectomy and ileum conduit construction after three courses of neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Eight months after the operation, the disease reoccurred in the pelvic lesion. He received pembrolizumab therapy but developed idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) immediately before the ninth course of administration; and, treatment was discontinued. Recovery of symptoms and normalization of blood test data were achieved 3.5months after starting steroid treatment. Reduction of recurrent disease has been maintained for 2 years.
