Staging of transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder relies on an accurate assessment of the depth of tumor invasion within the bladder wall and surrounding structures. Fat adjacent to muscle invasive carcinoma is often interpreted to represent full-thickness invasion of the bladder wall with extension into the perivesical tissues. We present a case report highlighting our finding of significant regions of fat within the lamina propria of the urinary bladder and its clinical importance with respect to the overstaging of carcinoma of the bladder.
膀胱移行细胞癌的分期依赖于对肿瘤在膀胱壁及周围结构内浸润深度的准确评估。与肌层浸润性癌相邻的脂肪常被解读为膀胱壁全层浸润并延伸至膀胱周围组织。我们报告一例病例，强调我们在膀胱固有层内发现的大量脂肪区域及其在膀胱肿瘤分期过高方面的临床重要性。
