    Abstract:
    Leukoplakia of the bladder is widely accepted as a precancerous lesion. We describe a patient in whom squamous cell carcinoma presented as an enterourethral fistula 10 years after cystectomy for leukoplakia of the bladder. During cystectomy we left most of the prostate and posterior urethra intact to preserve potency. In view of this case we recommend that in patients with bladder leukoplakia in whom ablative surgery is being contemplated a complete cystoprostatectomy be performed and a urethrectomy be considered seriously.
