[A case of squamous cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder associated with bladder calculi]

Abstract

A case of squamous cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder associated with a bladder stone in a 43-year-old man is reported. Because a 1 cm x 1 cm sized mass was found in the right lateral side of the dome at the time of vesicolithotomy, partial cystectomy was performed. The weight of the stone was 285 g and the tumor was histologically diagnosed as squamous cell carcinoma, grade 2, pT2. Radical cystectomy with ileal conduit was sandwiched by a total of 6 cycles of chemotherapy with PVB. Twelve cases of squamous cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder associated with a bladder stone(s) from the Japanese literature are reviewed, and the relationship between bladder stone, leukoplakia and squamous cell carcinoma discussed.
