An insight into non transitional cell carcinoma of Bladder: A six year retrospective study

Abstract

Non transitional cell carcinomas comprise 5 – 10% of all malignant bladder tumours. A retrospective study was done in 50 cases of TUR-BT (transurethral resection of bladder tumour) and radical cystectomy specimens for a period of 6 years at a tertiary care hospital. The various details analysed were the presenting complaints, age, sex, cystoscopy findings, radiological findings, urine cytology findings, gross morphology and microscopic findings. Non transitional cell carcinomas reported were squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma (papillary, mucinous and clear cell types) and sarcomatoid carcinoma.
