Case Discussion
Bladder cancer typically occurs in men aged 50–70 years. Most (around 90%) of bladder cancers are transitional cell carcinoma (TCC).
Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) represents about 10% of bladder carcinomas and is strongly related to chronic infection, particularly Schistosomiasis.
In this case, cystoscopy was recommended and biopsy revealed low-grade TCC.
