ABSTRACT
Introduction: This study was conducted to describe the Histopathological spectrum of various urinary bladder tumors and to classify them according to W.H.O(2004)/ISUP classification of urinary bladder tumors.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional, observational study carried out between June 1, 2019 to May 31, 2020 for a period of one year in the Department of Pathology and Urology, Indira Gandhi Medical College, Shimla. One hundred and ninety seven patients (TURBT and radical cystectomy) with primary epithelial urinary bladder cancer were included in the study. However, Patients with inflammatory and metastatic lesions of urinary bladder and post chemoradiotherapy were excluded from the study.
Results: The age of patients ranged from 36 to 89 years with mean age of 62 years. Male preponderance was observed with male to female ratio of 6.9:1. Most common histological type found in our study was urothelial carcinoma (98%) followed by other types such as Squamous cell carcinoma (1%), Small cell carcinoma (0.5%) and Adenocarcinoma (0.5%). In urothelial tumors (193), majority, 126(65.3%) cases, were high grade urothelial carcinoma followed by 67(34.7%) cases of low grade urothelial carcinoma.
Conclusion: High grade urothelial carcinomas were mostly associated with muscularis propria invasion.
