Abstract :
Primary small cell neuro-endocrine
carcinoma is rare malignancy in urinary bladder. We
report a case of 57-years-old male presenting with
history of haematuria and dysuria for 2 months.
Transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) was
performed. Histopathologic examination showed poorly
differentiated small cell carcinoma (SmCC) with neuroendocrine differentiation, infiltrating the muscle tissue.
Due to presence of gross hematuria and deterioration in
general condition, patient received haemostatic palliative
external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) followed by
adjuvant chemotherapy with cisplatin/ etoposide after
resolution of hematuria. Patient died after 4 months of
diagnosis of malignancy despite treatment due to
aggressive nature of malignancy.
