Abstract
Neuroendocrine small cell carcinoma of the bladder is a rare and aggressive cancer with a very pejorative behavior. Neuroendocrine small cell carcinoma of the bladder is a histological entity with special characteristics, rapidly aggressive and metastatic, with a poor prognosis. Because it is rare, there is no consensus to date. Its management should be multidisciplinary, involving surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy of the bladder. We report the case of a 66-years-old patient with neuroendocrine small cell carcinoma of the bladder revealed after a bladder transurethral resection. A general review of the literature on this subject follows the description of the clinical case.
