Abstract

Bladder carcinoma is one of the most common urological malignancies with many rare histological variants associated with various prognosis. The recognition of these rare histological variants of bladder carcinoma may be helpful in selecting appropriate therapeutic approach and to predict the prognosis of the patients. We present three such rare entities of urothelial carcinoma with squamous differentiation, squamous cell carcinoma of bladder and metastatic bladder carcinoma which are associated with bad prognosis.

Keywords: bladder carcinoma; squamous cell carcinoma; squamous differentiation; metastatic bladder carcinoma; prognosis
