Summary— A multidisciplinary diagnostic approach to a case of bladder carcinoma in a 19‐year‐old male smoker is presented. The transitional cell carcinoma was submitted to conventional histological examination, flow cytometry and cytogenetic analysis. Serum and urine tumour markers were also investigated. The tumour was diploid, with an increased proliferative phase, and a chromosome marker was found. A net decrease in serum and urine ferritin concentrations was noted after transurethral resection of the neoplasm and its low malignancy was confirmed at follow‐up.
