Abstrakt: Key Clinical Message: The "gold standard" treatment for Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is radical cystectomy and different management approaches that combine chemotherapy and radiation in a neoadjuvant or adjuvant setting have been attempted with varying degrees of effectiveness. For certain individuals, partial cystectomy offers sufficient local control for muscle‐invasive bladder cancer. Lifelong follow‐up with cystoscopy is advised due to the possibility of potentially fatal late recurrence. Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the bladder is a rare urologic malignancy that is estimated to affect 3%–5% of the bladder cases. SCC of the bladder remains the most common subtype throughout Africa. Most of the literatures focused on the management of Urothelial carcinoma (UC), with fewer discussions on SCC management. UC typically presents with painless hematuria, whereas SCC presents with painful hematuria, bladder mass, and necroturia. SCC is mostly radioresistant and does not respond to chemotherapy. The mainstay treatment is partial cystectomy or radical cystectomy, which can be performed through open surgery or laparoscopic or robot‐assisted approaches, all of which have acceptable results. We report a patient with a favorable outcome following partial cystectomy who was managed by open surgery. At the 12‐month follow‐up, the patient remained asymptomatic with good surgical outcomes.
