Abstract
The leech is an invertebrate which has the habit of entering the anatomical orifices of man and animals. During the process of sucking blood it releases an anticoagulant and causes continuous bleeding from the bite site. A leech as a cause of gross hematuria is unusual. We present a case of a leech in the bladder as a cause of gross hematuria.
