BACKGROUND: Patients following solid organ transplantation have an increased risk of developing de novo bladder tumors, but their biology is poorly characterized. METHODS: We studied 1743 patients who underwent a transurethral resection of a newly diagnosed bladder tumor at a single institution. The histopathology, treatment, recurrence-free survival and overall survival were evaluated and compared between transplant and non-transplant patients. RESULTS: We identified 74 transplant patients who developed a de novo bladder tumor after a median post-transplantation interval of 62 months. The tumor was malignant in 29 patients (39 %). The most common benign lesion was nephrogenic adenoma (84 %), which neither coexisted with nor developed into malignant tumors during follow-up. Compared with non-transplant patients (n = 1669), transplant patients were significantly younger (median 55 vs 69 years, P < 0.001) and had a 9.0-fold higher odds of benign tumors (P < 0.001), while there were no differences in pathology among patients with urothelial carcinoma of the bladder (UCB). In a multivariable analysis for non-muscle-invasive UCB that was adjusted for the risk group, patients with a transplant had a 1.8-fold increased risk of recurrence (P = 0.048). Four of five transplant patients did not respond to Bacillus Calmette-Guérin instillations. There were no differences in overall survival after radical cystectomy (P = 0.87). CONCLUSIONS: The majority of bladder tumors in transplant patients are benign, and they neither coexist with nor develop into malignant tumors. Transplant patients with non-muscle-invasive UCB show an increased risk of disease recurrence, while those treated with radical cystectomy have similar outcomes to patients without a transplant.
