Oliguria, an unusual presentation of primary signet ring-cell adenocarcinoma of the urinary bladder: a case report and review of the literature

J Surg Oncol. 1999 Jan;70(1):64-7. doi: 10.1002/(sici)1096-9098(199901)70:1<64::aid-jso12>3.0.co;2-n.

Abstract

Adenocarcinomas represent approximately 2% of primary bladder epithelial malignancies. Of these, the signet ring-cell variant is the rarest form. We report such a case, with the unusual presentation of oliguria, including radiologic and histopathologic findings. The current literature is reviewed.
