Neuroendocrine Carcinoma of the Bladder

Case Rep Oncol. 2010 Mar 3;3(1):54-58. doi: 10.1159/000289584.

Abstract

The case was a 67-year-old male who visited our hospital with a major complaint of macroscopic hematuria. A bladder tumor was found. When a transurethral resection of the bladder tumor was performed, the histopathological diagnosis was neuroendocrine bladder cancer. After chemotherapy with cisplatin and etoposide a partial shrinkage of the tumor was observed; however, the patient expired 7 months after the first visit.
