Clinical and pathological analysis of bladder sarcomatoid carcinomas
diagnosis and treatment level of bladder sarcomatoid carcinomas.Methods:The tissue resource
the pathological and immunohistochemistry characters
the diagnosis and prognosis of sarcomatoid carcinomas were analyzed and differential diagnosis from bladder carcionomas was established by summarizing the clinical
pathological data and existing related articles.Results:2 cases in this group were diagnosed as transitional cell carcinoma of bladder.The patients underwent partial cystectomy.The pathological study indicated the tumor composed of many fusiform cells
and the transitional cell carcinoma
squamous carcinoma
adenocarcinoma and small cell nest were all included.There was transitional area between fusiform cells and tumor cells.Immunohistochemical examination showed that sarcomatous compoments were stained for epithelial markers.The patiems recovered well without radiotherapy and chemotherapy.However
these 2 patients died of tumor recurrence and metastasis 10 months later.Conclusion:Like general bladder tumor
hematuria is the chief symptom of sarcomatoid carcinomas.B-ultrasonography
CT and MRI can help turnor staging.Final diagnosis depends on pathology and immunohistochemistry.Differential diagnosis between sarcomatoid carcinoma and carcinosaroma should be made.The tumor will undergo blood metastasis in early stage.Prognosis of this kind is poor.The key to improve the prognosis is its early detection.
