Soft Tissue Tumours

Although malignant fibrous histiocytoma is the most common among soft tissue tumours in adults, its origin in the bladder is extremely rare. Only 17 cases have been reported so far. We present the case of an 86-year-old patient who, following clinical and instrumental examination for a large bladder growth, underwent partial cystectomy. The histopathological exam showed a neoplastic mass, while immunohistochemical findings indicated a malignant fibrous histiocytoma. A transitional cell carcinoma in situ with microinfiltration of the lamina propria was also observed near the above tumour.

New Methods

Urine cytology is a reliable and well known tool in the diagnosis and follow-up of patients with transitional cell carcinoma even if it has high sensitivity only in high grade tumors and carcinoma in situ. In order to improve sensitivity of this test in patients with low grade tumors, new methods such as cytometry, microsatellite assays, Immunocyt®, fuorescence in-situ hybridization and Thin-Prep monolayer have been developed. These new assays will be able to increase the cytology detection rate and to predict the outcome of transitional cell carcinoma.
