Abstract

ABSTRACTBackground and Objectives: Urinary bladder like any organ in the body that involved bymany non-neoplastic and neoplastic lesions. These lesions are more disabling than beingfatal. Bladder tumor is the seventh most common tumor worldwide. Although progress hasbeen made in the field of non-invasive imaging, histopathological study of bladder biopsystill the gold standard for tumor diagnosis, grading, staging and managementconducted to clarify the pathological changes of various lesions in the urinary bladderbiopsies that obtained by cystoscopy, and to categorize the bladder tumor according to WHOclassification.Subject and Method: All the subjects involved in this study were obtained from centrallaboratory and private laboratories inperiod extended from January 2009 to December 2015Results: Histologically 376 cystoscopic biopsies wand females were 90 (23.9%); the male to female ratio was 3.1:1 Non neoplastic lesionsaccounted for 97 cases (25.8%), Neoplastic lesions accounted for 279total cases 9.4% of patients were presthere were 87 (89.7%) inflammatory lesions, and the urothelial transitional cell carcinomaswere the most common histopathological ones among the neoplastic lesions 278 (99.6%) .Adenocarcinoma were found in three cases, squamous cell carcinoma in two, one withsarcomatoid carcinoma and metastatic lesion in one.Conclusions: This study concludneoplastic ones. The non-invasive low grade tansitional cell carcinoma is the commonest typeamong bladder tumors and more frequently seen in males above age of 60, where’sinflammatory lesions are more frequent non neoplastic disepresenting symptom of the patients with bladder lesions.
