Summary— Trophoblastic differentiation in bladder carcinoma is reported in four patients. Plasma gonadotrophin (beta subunit of HCG), measured in three patients, was elevated. In one patient treated with cisplatin, vinblastine and bleomycin, the β HCG level fell significantly but progression of malignant disease was not arrested.
