Objective:
To describe a case of adenocarcinoma of the urinary bladder.
Methods:
A 63-year-old patient consulted for gross hematuria. Ultrasound evaluation showed a bladder neoplasm and CT demonstrated extensive infiltration of adjacent structures.
Results:
Histological analysis of the TUR specimen confirmed a muscle infiltrating glandular neoplasm (adenocarcinoma) with diffuse areas of cystitis glandularis. Patient evolution has been poor and he is now in the end stage of the disease.
Conclusions:
The morphology is not unlike that of colorectal carcinoma, which should be distinguished. The association of areas of cystitis glandularis indicates a possible relationship.
