Abstract

A case of urinary bladder carcinosarcoma (UBCS) is reported with light, immunohistochemical and electron microscopical findings. The tumour consisted of a squamous cell carcinoma, variable spindle cell stromal elements compatible with fibrosarcoma, and rhabdomyoblasts. Intermediate filament co-expression of cytokeratin and vimentin was shown by immunohistochemistry. Electron microscopy (EM) confirmed the nature of the three components, and indicated some similarities between the three cell-types present. Comparisons with the previous UBCS in the literature are made.
