Electron microscopy of urinary bladder carcinoma. A histocytological study

Urinary bladder carcinoma in Schistosoma cases presented a pllomorphic character; it shared many properties with transitional and squamous cell carcinomata though it had certain specific features. Electronumicrographs of exfoliated tumour cells in urine sediment showed clearly the criteria of malignancy. A cytopathological correlation was markedly noticed. As the medical library is still deficient in an easy and reliable mean for early detection of carcinoma in bilharzial urinary bladder a method was suggested for the use of electromicroscopy in urinary cytology for diagnosis of malignancy
