ABSTRACT

Of the total number of bladder carcinomas, a small number of cases are squamous cell carcinoma (1-7%). This neoplasm is frequent in countries were schistosomiasis is endemic, such as, Egypt, Sudan an Arabia. In this article, we present two cases of bladder squamous cell carcinoma, in patients, with no risk factor to develop this neoplasia.
