Slide 225: Bladder with invasive transition
cell carcinoma
|
 |
In this specimen, the bladder wall is
invaded and almost completely replaced with malignant transition cells. I'm not
too sure there is anything passing for normal mucosa. Only remnants of the
smooth muscle remain.
See this slide with the
virtual microscope. |

Note here the remnant of smooth
muscle of the bladder wall. You see islands and clusters of the malignancy
growing in between the bundles of smooth muscle. Note also the clustering or
grouping of the cells into little morules. |
