Manifestations and complications of Hodgkin's disease in the urinary tract can appear as alterations of the kidneys (stag's antlers type), compression and displacement of the ureter (ureteric type), or as chemotherapeutically induced cystitis (Endoxam type). All these complications were found consecutively in the case documented here. The diagnosis was made on the basis of the symptoms, the findings in the i.v. urogram, and cystoscopy; it was confirmed post mortem by the autopsy. In this advanced case of Hodgkin's disease, only the hemorrhagic cystitis warranted therapy.
