Ossified metastatic transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder.
A case of ossified tumor in the anterior abdominal wall that proved to be a metastatic transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder is reported. Computerized tomography detected dense calcification within the tumor but it did not differentiate ossification from calcification. A soft x-ray roentgenogram of the resected tumor revealed a fine trabecular pattern of the ossified area.
