Malig. Bladder tumor: Transitional cell bladder cancer is most common and presents with different grades of malignancy and different degrees of +depth of infiltration. Low grade is similar to a polyp+ rather benign. High grade (anaplastic) with deep muscle invasion, or even through bladder is very dangerous. Lymph node invasion is a poor prognostic sign. Squamous cell cancer, a worse type with worse prognosis than tcc.

Blood in urine: Bladder cancer can arise from different types of cells in the bladder and is more common in smokers or due to certain chemical exposure. If blood cells are detected in a urinalysis, evaluation by a nephrologist or urologist (especially if over the age of 40 or a smoker) is warranted. This condition may not have any symptoms early on, and is often treatable or curable if caught early.
