Abstract
A 47-year-old man presented with hematuria and dysuria. He was found t o have a carcinosarcoma originating from a bladder diverticulum. He un derwent a partial cystectomy and received postoperative chemotherapy. One year later, he presented with a large local recurrence and died sh ortly afterward. We believe this to be the second case of a carcinosar coma originating in a bladder diverticulum.
