Bladder TCC

🧠 Head Cluster – “Transitional” Nature
The multiple morphing heads erupting from the back reflect:

Transitional cell carcinoma (cells change shape and layers)

Histologic variability

Also visually imply papillary branching seen on cystoscopy

🩸 Dripping Arm – Painless Hematuria
One hand is melting and dripping bright red blood, representing:

Painless hematuria, the classic presenting symptom of bladder TCC

No casts — because it’s a lower urinary tract origin

🧪 Syringes in the Body – Toxins
Three syringes stabbed into the back represent the Pee SAC carcinogens:

Phenacetin (old analgesic, banned for nephrotoxicity/bladder cancer)

Smoking (tobacco-related carcinogens)

Cyclophosphamide (alkylating chemotherapeutic agent)

These syringes are labeled and are injecting the body, transforming it into cancerous form

💀 Torso Texture – Carcinomatous Transition
The torso has a gnarled, cord-like muscle texture resembling invasive tumor spread

Skin is ulcerated and riddled with nodular masses — symbolizing irregular tumor borders

🌫️ Smoke – Tobacco
Black smoke curls from its back, connecting visually to tobacco smoking, a major cause

Ties in with the aromatic amines found in industrial dyes and cigarettes

🧬 Shape of Arms/Legs – Deformity + Infiltration
One hand is dissolved and flowing (like blood), the other is necrotic and claw-like, symbolizing:

Invasive potential of bladder carcinoma

Loss of cellular control and infiltration into surrounding tissue
