Aims and objectives: The aim of this study is to study the clinical and histo–morphological features of transitional cell carcinomas of urinary bladder that carry prognostic significance. Materials and methods: This is a descriptive study of 101 transitional cell carcinomas that were submitted for histopathological examination in the Government General hospital, Chennai over two years. Detailed history of the cases was obtained and the histological features were assessed. Results: Transitional cell carcinomas had a peak incidence in 61–70 year males in the right lateral wall. 95 tumours were single with the mean size of 4.1 cm. Most of the cases were low grade with Stage I being the commonest stage. 21 cases were associated with recurrence. Conclusion: The study assesses the prognostic factors of bladder carcinoma. This study showed a reduced rate of recurrence than the western population.
