ICD-11 code : 2C94.1;
Preferred Label : Squamous cell carcinoma of bladder;
ICD-11 definition : A squamous cell carcinoma of the bladder arising from metaplastic epithelium. It represents
less than 10% of bladder carcinomas. The exception is the Middle East along the Nile
Valley, where it represents the most common form of carcinoma because of the endemic
nature of schistosomiasis. Bladder squamous cell carcinoma is often associated with
long-standing chronic inflammation of the bladder and usually has a poor prognosis.
The diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma of the bladder should be reserved for those
tumors that are predominantly keratin forming.;
