Schistosomiasis of the Urinary Bladder
A young man presented with recurrent gross hematuria. Cystoscopy revealed the presence of polypoid mucosa and ulceration.

Like the institution that supports it, Mayo Clinic Proceedings, founded and centered in a relatively small town in southeastern Minnesota, has long had a mission with a global intent and reach.
