Abstract:
An 11 cases of nontransitional malignant epithelial tumors among the 97 cases of urinary bladder tumor have been reviewed.

The purpose of the study were the establishment of the way how to manage these malignant tumors and the confirmation if the tumor were recurred or not through strict follow up study with the 11 cases. The results were as follows: 1. Adenocarcinoma of the urinary bladder was 7 cases and squamous cell carcinoma was 4 cases, comprising 11.3% of all 97 cases of malignant vesical neoplasm. 2. In the view of sex distribution, men was 5 out of 7 adenocarcinomas. The male predominance was noted in prevalence of transitional carcinoma, however, women was 3 out of 4 cases of squamous cell carcinoma. 3. The most common sites of the squamous cell carcinoma were located in the lateral wall and trigone, the adenocarcinomas were located in the dome and anterior wall predominantly. 4. All of the nontransitional carcinoma were infiltrating or metastatic when the diagnosis was established. 5. One case who was treated with radiation therapy only expired in 5 months after diagnosis. 6. The 5 cases were received radical cystectomy with radiation therapy. 3 out of them has been survived, one died 23 months after and another died 25 months after. 7. Two years survival rate of these patients that received radiation and radical cystectomy was 60 %.
