Squamous cell carcinoma of the suprapubic tract: A rare entity

Abstract: 

Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the bladder is uncommon, but may arise in the setting of long-term bladder catheterization and chronic inflammation. SCC can arise primarily from the suprapubic catheter tract, but fewer than 15 such cases have been reported in the literature. We present a rare case of SCC arising from the suprapubic tract associated with chronic indwelling urinary catheters. SCC must be differentiated from granulomatous conditions, which are common in patients with suprapubic catheters.
