Abstract

Bladder cancer is the most common cause of malignancy involving the urinary system. Within its clinical spectrum it can manifest as painless hematuria, irritative voiding symptoms (pollakiuria, urgency, dysuria) and urinary obstruction, findings that can delay the diagnosis due to similarity of these symptoms to those of other benign pathologies (UTI, prostatitis, lithiasis, benign prostatic hyperplasia). Squamous-cell carcinoma, of all bladder malignancies, is responsible for the 3-5% of bladder tumors in North America and Europe, the most common being the transitional cell cancer with 95%. (1) We present a case of a 53 years-old man with abdominal pain and irritative voiding symptoms, in whom imaging studies established the diagnosis of bladder tumor. He underwent transurethral cystoscopy and specimens were collected for histopathologic evaluation. The histopathological study with histochemical staining confirmed the finding of a squamous-cell carcinoma of the bladder.
