There are only 7 cases reported in the literature of squamous cell cancer of the bladder in patients performing intermittent self-catheterization (ISC). We report on an eighth case, and the first case described in a patient with a Mitrofanoff continent appendicovesicostomy. A description of the case and review of the literature are presented. Risk factors for squamous cell cancer include recurrent urinary tract infections, keratinising squamous metaplasia (leukoplakia) and local mucosal trauma from intermittent self-catheterization. There is no recognized or validated monitoring program for patients performing ISC who may also have these risk factors. Reasonable protocols may include regular urinary cytology and cystoscopy with random or targeted bladder biopsies. Squamous cell cancer may present late in this cohort of patients and is associated with a dismal prognosis.

Intermittent self-catheterization and the risk of squamous cell cancer of the bladder: An emerging clinical entity?
