Non-Bilharzial Squamous Cell Carcinoma of Urinary Bladder – Tailored Management Yields Better Outcomes: A Single Centre Experience
Abstract
Urothelial carcinoma constitutes 90.0% to 95.0% of bladder malignancies and the rest are associated with epithelial and mesenchymal tumors. Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) can be either bilharzial or non-bilharzial in origin; 2.0% to 5.0% of individuals with bladder cancer have non-bilharzial SCC, an unusual diagnosis. Here we report 3 cases of non-bilharzial SCC in males. Hematuria was the most common presenting symptom. Transurethral resection of the bladder tumor was performed and the histopathological study confirmed SCC in all 3 cases. Radical cystectomy was done in 2 patients and the third patient underwent partial cystectomy.
