Abstract
Verrucous carcinoma is a rare squamous cell variant that may arise in the bladder. We present a case of verrucous carcinoma of the bladder w ith radiologic-pathologic correlations that demonstrate the characteri stic frond-like growth pattern. Verrucous carcinoma is an invasive but not a metastizing lesion, and therefore recognizing this lesion may h ave prognostic and therapeutic implications.
