Carcinoma in situ was found in 4 (8%) patients, of whom only 2 had positive urine cytology.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>It is prudent to perform a biopsy of all incidentally diagnosed red patches because of a major yield rate of carcinoma in situ.
