Abstract: | Carcinosarcoma of the urinary bladder is a uncommon tumor with characteristic histopathologic and immunohistochemical findings; his histogenesis have still not been clear; the prognosis seems to be improved by radical cystectomy and adjuvants therapies. We report a case of 47 years old women suffering from suprapubic pains, dysuria and hematuria of five months duration and had a 10 cm suprapubic mass that was found on physical examination. Radiographically, the tumor invaded the dome of the urinary bladder and causes bilateral hydronephrosis. Microscopically it was an urinary bladder carcinosarcoma. Our objective is to discuss the histogenesis, the anatomoclinical and prognosis of these rare tumors. |
