risk factors for bladder cancer
A carcinogen ACTS on the bladder:
Aniline dye (textile, leather, rubber)
Cyclophosphamide
Tobacco
Schistosomiasis (SCC)
Malignant tumor arising from the urothelial lining of the renal pelvis, ureter, bladder, or urethra
urothelial carcinoma
Most common type of lower urinary tract cancer; usually arises in the bladder
urothelial carcinoma
benign bladder neoplasm occurring in younger patients
finger-like papillae with a fibrovascular core
urothelial papilloma
benign neoplasm of the bladder
inter-anastomosing cords of urothelium that extend down into the lamina propria
inverted papilloma
Tumors are often multifocal and recur (“field defect”)
urothelial CIS
cytologically malignant cells within a flat urothelium
“full-thickness cytologic atypia”
urothelial CIS
arises from urachal remnants or in associated with extensive intestinal metaplasia
adenocarcinoma of the bladder
what type of cancer should be ruled out in diagnosis of adenocarcinoma of the bladder?
prostate
[…] grade papillary tumors: usually pedunculated with a papillary surface; and noninvasive
low
[…] grade papillary tumors: usually sessile and nodular/solid; and invasive (invading lamina propria or deeper tissues)
high
schistosomiasis is linked to […] of the bladder
SCC
(classically, patient from Middle east or Africa)
cerebral palsy and neurogenic bladder are linked to […] of the bladder
SCC
(due to chronic irritation via intermittent catherization)
