Pelvic CT scan showed a giant bladder tumor more than 10 cm in diameter (Figure 1), while there was no distant metastasis by abdominal and chest CT scans.
Epithelial malignancy is urothelial cancer without submucosal invasion (hematoxylin and eosin stain).

Epithelial malignancy was urothelial cancer (Figure 2) and mesenchymal one was chondrosarcoma (Figure 3) and leiomyosarcoma (Figures 4(a) and 4(b)). Broad neck of the tumor was of urothelial cancer grade 2 > 3, and there was no submucosal invasion (Figure 2).
One of the mesenchymal malignancies is chondrosarcoma (hematoxylin and eosin stain).

Epithelial malignancy was urothelial cancer (Figure 2) and mesenchymal one was chondrosarcoma (Figure 3) and leiomyosarcoma (Figures 4(a) and 4(b)).
(a) The other of the mesenchymal malignancies is leiomyosarcoma (Hematoxylin and eosin stain). (b) Leiomyosarcoma expressed smooth muscle actin (Immunohistochemistry).
