Sarcomatoid urothelial carcinoma of the urinary bladder is an uncommon neoplasm with biphasic morphology exhibiting both epithelial and sarcomatoid components. Whether this tumor arises from a single cancer stem cell with subsequent differentiation or represents collision of the progeny of two separate cancer stem cells is a matter of controversy. To clarify its clonal origin, we analyzed the TP53 mutation status...
