Two cases, sarcomatoid carcinoma and carcinosarcoma, of the urinary bladder are reported. A 68‐year‐old man with sarcomatoid carcinoma underwent total cystectomy and was alive and had had no recurrence after 21 months. A 78‐year‐old woman with carcinosarcoma underwent total cystectomy, but she died from increasing multiple lung metastases 4 months after surgery. The histopathological characteristics of both neoplasms are reported and discussed.
