Subtype of Transitional Cell
Papillary
Non-Papillary
look like shrubs “frond like”and tend to be low grade.
Papillary TCC
more aggressive TCC
Non-papillary
a heavily calcified bladder and distal ureters (usually shown on plain film, but could also be on CT).

Tumor favors the trigone and lateral walls
Squamous Cell
The ones NOT associated with Schistosomiasis tend to be
More aggressive
Urachal Remnant
Bladder Exstrophy

90% o f urachal cancers are located midline at the bladder dome.
Adenocarcinoma
is a large midline mass associated with a urachal remnant with scattered calcifications.

They are often infiltrative, and it’s hard to tell where they originate.
