    Abstract:
    We report a case of carcinosarcoma arising from a bladder diverticulum. A 71-year-old male was referred to our hospital for macroscopic hematuria. Two diverticula were identified in the left wall of the urinary bladder, one of which showed a broad-based tumor. The bladder tumor was resected using a transuretheral approach and the tumor was histologically diagnosed as leiomyosarcoma. The patient underwent partial resection of the bladder including the two diverticula and the tumor. Pathological examination revealed that the resected specimen was composed of three elements, transitional cell carcinoma (G3), squamous cell carcinoma, and leiomyosarcoma. Thus, the patient was diagnosed with carcinosarcoma. He died 5 months after surgery to remove the panperitonitis carcinomatosa. This case is the 38th reported case of bladder carcinosarcoma in Japan.
