title: Verrucous carcinoma in situ of the bladder, not associated with urinary schistosomiasis.
abstract: Verrucous carcinoma is a variant of well differentiated squamous cell carcinoma that rarely affects the bladder. The bladder localization of this carcinoma is usually associated with urinary schistosomiasis. In this work we report on a rare case of verrucous carcinoma of the bladder not associated with urinary schistosomiasis. To complete this study, analysis of DNA was carried out on the histologic sections of the tumour.
