Background: Diseases of the bladder, particularly inflammation (cystitis), constitute an important source of clinical signs and symptoms. Tumors of the bladder are an important source of both morbidity and mortality. Objectives: 1) To study the histopathological features of various lesions in bladder biopsies. 2) To study the frequency of different pathological lesions, particularly Transitiona...

Cancer of the urinary bladder is a commonly encountered malignancy tract. The most common histologic type Transitional cell carcinoma (TCC). It accounts for 90-95% all cancers. usually seen in sixth and seventh decades life. Men are affected three to four times more than women. remaining 5-10% tumors other types epithelial mesenchymal tumors. Squamous (SCC) very uncommon malignancy.

The incidence of transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) in patients submitted to hemodialysis is low. The presence of TCC with sarcomatoid features in this cohort is even scarcer. Herein, we describe a very rare case of synchronous multicentric muscle invasive bladder carcinoma with prostate invasion in a hemodialysis patient, submitted to complete en bloc urinary exenteration.

Abstract Background Melanosis of the bladder is a rare condition characterized by multifocal, diffuse melanin pigmentation urothelial mucosa or lamina propria without any proliferation melanocytes. Less than 25 cases have been reported so far which only four patients had concurrent carcinoma. Case presentation We are reporting case melanosis in 58-year-old female associated with pTaG1 transitio...

INTRODUCTION Bladder tumours constitute one of the most common urological conditions. Urothelial (transitional cell) carcinoma accounts for 90% of all primary tumours of the bladder. These tumours are an important cause of morbidity and mortality. The objective of this study was to present the histopathological patterns of urothelial tumours and to determine the grade and stage of these tumours...

Transitional cell carcinoma (TCC), a urinary bladder tumor with high mortality, is encountered commonly in dogs. Whereas overexpression of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is associated with development of human urinary bladder cancer, information on EGFR expression in canine TCC is lacking. In this study, EGFR protein and mRNA expression in canine normal bladder (n=5), polypoid cystitis...

BACKGROUND Urinary bladder carcinoma is common urological malignancy. Although epidemiological evidence favors role of occupational exposure to chemical carcinogen as the aetiological factor of bladder carcinoma, many cases arise with no obvious occupational exposure to chemical carcinogen. Tobacco and cigarette smoking is common in both rural and urban areas of Nepal. OBJECTIVE The objective...
