| Squamous cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder | |
|---|---|
| Diagnosis in short | |
| LM DDx | metastatic squamous cell carcinoma (esp. squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix), urothelial carcinoma with squamous differentiation, condyloma acuminatum, squamous dysplasia, keratinising squamous metaplasia of the urinary bladder |
| IHC | p16 -ve/+ve, CK20 +ve, CK7+, CK14 +ve, GATA3 -ve |
| Site | urinary bladder |

| Clinical history | lived in areas with Schistosoma haematobium |
| Prevalence | very rare |
Squamous cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder, abbreviated SCC of the bladder, is a rare cancer of the urinary bladder.
Squamous differentiation in urothelial carcinoma is common and much more frequent than SCC of the bladder.
General
- Strong association with Schistosoma haematobium.[1]
- Common in areas with S. haematobium.
- Uncommon in areas without S. haematobium.
Microscopic
Features:
- See squamous cell carcinoma article.
DDx:
- Metastatic squamous cell carcinoma.
- Urothelial carcinoma with squamous differentiation - very common.
- In biopsies, this should be mentioned as a possibility.
- Condyloma acuminatum.
- Squamous dysplasia.
- Keratinising squamous metaplasia of the urinary bladder.
IHC
Features:
- p16 -ve/+ve.
- Not definite for separating from cervix - but suggestive: cervix ~86% +ve, bladder ~37% +ve.[2]
- CK14 +ve.[3]
- CK7 -ve.
UCC versus SCC
IHC may be of some use as per Gulmann et al.:[4]
| Immunostain | Pure SCC (12 cases) | Pure UCC (15 cases) |
|---|---|---|
| CK14 | 100% (12/12) | 27% (4/15) |
| Desmoglein-3 | 75% (9/12) | 0% (0/15) |
| GATA3 | 0% (0/12) | 93% (14/15) |
| Uroplakin III | 0% (0/12) | 67% (10/15) |
| S100P | 8% (1/12) | 93% (14/15) |
An another study from Egypt looks at CK7 and CK20 which is widely available:[3]
| Immunostain | SCC | UCC |
|---|---|---|
| CK7 | 0% (0/50) | 80% (120/150) |
| CK20 | 0% (0/50) | 70% (105/120) |
Sign out
In areas not endemic for S. haematobium, reports of biopsies should raise the possibility of UCC with squamous differentiation and metastasis.
