Abstract

The sarcomatoid variant of bladder cancer has a reported prevalence of 0.3-0.6% of all bladder cancers.1–3 Risk factors that have been reported for the development of sarcomatoid differentiation include prior exposure to cyclophosphamide therapy and radiation therapy.4,5 This variant has been associated with aggressive disease and poor response to chemotherapy, suggesting that immediate radical cystectomy would be appropriate as first line therapy for patients with localized disease.6–8
