Urinary bladder tumors were one of the most common entities of urological pathology. Neoplastic & nonneoplastic lesions of urinary bladder werethe common reasons for morbidity and mortality throughout world. Among neoplastic lesions, urothelial carcinoma is a common primary tumor ofurinary bladder. The aim of this retrospective study was to determine the spectrum of various urothelial lesions from cystoscopic bladder biopsiesreceived over a period of 3 years. All the urinary bladder biopsies received with two inadequate biopsies were included in this study. Out of 54biopsies received, 12 were non neoplastic & 40 were neoplastic cases and two were inadequate biopsies. Majority of the cases were in 60-79 yearsage group. Males were affected more than females ( 2.85:1 ratio). Majority of the neoplastic lesions were urothelial carcinomas.Conclusion : Among the bladder tumors ,urothelial carcinoma was the most common type, among these, high grade urothelial carcinoma wascommon in our study. Non invasive were more common than invasive carcinoma.Identification of grade &invasion into muscle layer has animpact on prognosis as well as on therapeutic approach.
