Abstract

History of large bladder stones suggests a long-standing chronic irritation of the bladder, a known risk factor for squamous cell carcinoma. Therefore, in such patients, we suggest random biopsies to detect presence of dysplasia or malignancy and a follow-up cystoscopy for early detection of a possible tumor.

Keywords: Case report; large bladder stone; squamous cell bladder carcinoma.
