[Squamous cell carcinoma of the bladder--a case report].

A 63-year-old male was referred to us for investigation of gross hematuria and miction pain. DIP showed a filling defect on the left side of the bladder. This patient underwent through clinical and endoscopic staging which included chest X-ray and abdominal and pelvic CT scan. Biopsy of the tumor resulted in a diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma of the bladder, grade 2. Total cystectomy and lymphadenectomy were carried out. Unfortunately this patient died 6 months after surgery because of local recurrence. We believe that future research should be directed toward adjunctive studies with radiation and chemotherapy.
