Abstract:
A case of a female patient with an adenocarcinoma of the bladder emerging from ectopic colonic epithelium is reported. Although urothelial metaplasia in itself is not a premalignant lesion, patients with metaplasia of the bladder epithelium should be followed up very strictly since malignant degeneration has been proved to occur.
