title: [A case of regionally metastatic pure squamous cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder successfully treated with radical chemoradiotherapy].
abstract: We report a case of regionally metastatic pure squamous cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder successfully treated with combined radiation and chemotherapy in a 46-year-old man. Clinical staging was T3bN2M0. The patient received 50 Gy external radiation combined with intraarterial and systemic chemotherapy. Pathological complete response was found both in bladder and regional lymph nodes when he underwent radical cystectomy and lymph node dissection. The patient has been alive without evidence of disease for two years postoperatively.
