Abstract:
Background: In the world, urinary bladder cancer ranks ninth in frequency and is the second most prevalent genitourinary tract cancer in men. Men are more likely than women to get bladder cancer (6% vs.2%), with 80% of patients being in the 50–80 age range. Ninety percent of bladder tumors are urothelial tumors, which range in type from benign papillomas to extremely aggressive anaplastic malignancies.
Cystoscopic bladder biopsy is the gold standard investigation for the diagnostic and prognostic assessment of patient.
Materials and Methods: Total of 14 cases of urinary bladder neoplasm (histologically proven) of patients admitted in SMIMER HOSPITAL, SURAT were studied over the period from January 2022 to December 2023 in department of pathology.
Results: Out of 14 cases of neoplastic lesions, majority were of high grade papillary urothelial carcinomas (50%) followed by low grade papillary urothelial carcinomas (38%) and papillary urothelial neoplasm of low-grade potential (PUNLUMP) (12%).
The most common age group was 61-70 years (50%).
Male preponderance (9 cases) was observed as compared to that of females.
Conclusion: High grade urothelial Carcinomas are the most common neoplastic lesion of urinary bladder. Muscle invasion and grading are very valuable prognostic factors.
