Abstract
Bladder carcinoma accounts for approx. 7% of all cancers and the most common histological variant is transitional cell carcinoma. Other rare variants are squamous cell carcinoma (adenocarcinoma, small cell carcinoma, and sarcomas. Pure squamous cell carcinoma of bladder is very rare and needs detailed histopathological examination to differentiate it from transitional cell carcinoma with squamous differentiation. We are presenting a case of 55year old male with past history of chronic cystitis and vesical calculus, who developed pure squamous cell carcinoma of urinary bladder after 2 years.
