The authors report a retrospective serial of 225 patients presenting an infiltrating bladder tumor. The infiltrating tumors represent 29.2% of bladder tumors. The middle age of our patients is 59 years with a sex-ratio of 7.3. In the histology, 80% of the tumors are a cell transitional carcinoma and 65% of the patients are classified stage T3T4. The surgical treatment has could be achieved at 73.3% of the cases and 66.7% of the patients had a radical cystectomy. The urinary diversion was essentially an continent urostomy using Benchekroun's hydraulic valve. At 28 months mean follow-up, a locoregional recurrence has been noted from 18% of the Tur achieved alone and 4% of the radical cystectomy. A metastasis has been noted from 18% of the patients and this in a mean delay of 12 months.
