title: [Keratinizing desquamative squamous metaplasia. Massive involvement of vesical mucosa].
abstract: We report on a case of squamous metaplasia involving the entire bladder mucosa. Diagnosis was established from multiple biopsies and urinary cytology. We discuss the term used to define lesions whose potential to become malignant is the subject of controversy, and the currently available treatment modalities used to achieve cure.
