Abstract:
Ninety specimens of pathologically confirmed transitional cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder were studied. The patients consisted of 71 male and 19 female with a male/femai ratio of 3.5:1. Their age was ranged from 32 to 79. 12 specimens were studied with electron microscope. The histopathological and ultrastructural features of transitional cell carcinoma were described. Our fol-lowup data of the cases revealed that the larger a tumor,the lower its differentiation, the deeper its invasion, and the more extensive the involvement of lymphatic and blood vessels, the poorer the prognosis of the tumor. In addition the ultrastructural characteristics of transitional oell carcinoma were briefly discussed.
