Case Discussion
Bladder neoplasms are known to arise from any of the bladder layers, hence broadly classified as either epithelial or nonepithelial. Urothelial tumors exhibit a spectrum of neoplasia ranging from a benign papilloma through carcinoma in situ to invasive carcinoma.
Transitional cell carcinoma is the most common primary neoplasm of the urinary bladder.
