A semi-hard growth from the urinary bladder of an adult dog was received from Veterinary Hospital to this Division for histopathological diagnosis. Microscopically, the growth was an admixture of malignant epithelial and mesenchymal cells. Epithelial component of the mass showed high grade carcinoma in situ and the mesenchymal component revealed spindle shaped cells forming interlacing bundles. The cells were hyperchromatic and exhibited pleomorphism with numerous mitotic figures. Based on histological picture, the growth in urinary bladder was diagnosed as a carcinosarcoma.
