Keratinising squamous metaplasia of the urinary bladder is a rare benign change of the urinary bladder associated with an increased risk of malignancy;[1] however, it is not considered a pre-malignant condition.[2][3]
General
- Rare.[3]
- Non-keratinizing squamous metaplasia can be considered normal and is relatively common in trigone region of the bladder in women.[citation needed]
- Large age range (13-80 years).[1]
- Predominantly males - almost 4:1 (27 males:7 females in one series[1]).
Treatment:
- Follow-up is recommended.[3]
Microscopic
Features:
- Squamous epithelium with hyperkeratosis or parakeratosis.
DDx:
- Squamous dysplasia of the metaplastic epithelium.
- Squamous cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder.
- Metastatic squamous cell carcinoma, e.g. squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix.
- Urothelial carcinoma with squamous metaplasia or squamous differentiation.
Sign out
Urinary Bladder Lesion, Biopsy: - Extensive keratinizing squamous metaplasia with degenerative changes and acute and chronic inflammation. - NEGATIVE for dysplasia and NEGATIVE for malignancy. Comment: Regular follow-up is recommended.
