The urinary bladder stores urine until one has to go wee-wee.
It is commonly afflicted by cancer.
A well-know mimicker of cancer is malakoplakia.[1]
Normal
Microscopic
- Muscularis mucosae - thin, discontinuous.
- Fat - many be in lamina propria.
Note:
- On TURBT - don't ever call T3.
Urinary bladder cancer
The most common type of cancer to affect the bladder is urothelial carcinoma. This is covered in the urothelium article.
Risk factors for bladder cancer SEX LIC:
- Schistomsoma haematobium - esp. squamous cell carcinoma.[2]
- EXtrophy of the bladder.
- Lithiasis.
- Indwelling catheter or chronic Inflammation.[2]
- Cyclophosphamide.
DDx:
- Urothelial carcinoma - most common in the Western world.
- Squamous cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder - most common in areas with Schistosoma.
- Adenocarcinoma.
- Urachal adenocarcinoma.
- Primary adenocarcinoma of the urinary bladder.
- Metastatic adenocarcinoma - usu. colorectal adenocarcinoma.
Squamous cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder
Main article: Squamous cell carcinoma
General
- Strong association with Schistosoma haematobium.[2]
- Common in areas with S. haematobium.
- Uncommon in areas without S. haematobium.
Microscopic
Features:
- See squamous cell carcinoma article.
Urachal carcinoma
Main article: Urachal carcinoma
Urinary bladder infarct
Main article: Infarction
General
- Case report rare - as the organ has many colaterals.[3]
- May be seen in association with pseudocarcinomatous urothelial hyperplasia.[4]
Microscopic
Features:[3]
- Necrosis without liquefaction.
- Outlines of cells visible.
- No nuclei present.
Note:
- Liquefaction implies an infectious etiology.[3]
Rhabdomyosarcoma
Main article: Rhabdomyosarcoma
