Non-schistosomal verrucous carcinoma of the bladder

Abstract

Verrucous carcinoma (VC) of the bladder is a malignant neoplasm associated with schistosomal infection. Non-schistosomal VC of the bladder is highly unusual; to the best of our knowledge, only 16 such cases have been reported to date. We report a case of non-schistosomal VC of the bladder, also review the literature and discuss the possible causes, management, and treatment of this unusual and malignant neoplasm.
