A rare case of signet-ring cell carcinoma in the urinary bladder, mimicking gastric linitis plastica, was successfully treated with cystectomy. The patient remains recurrence-free 8 months post-surgery, suggesting potential for favorable outcomes with surgical intervention.

Area of Science:

Urology
Oncology
Gastroenterology

Background:

Signet-ring cell carcinoma (SRCC) is a rare subtype of bladder cancer.
Linitis plastica is a characteristic infiltration pattern typically associated with gastric cancer.

Observation:

A 72-year-old woman presented with primary urinary bladder SRCC exhibiting a linitis plastica pattern.
Tumor infiltration extended deeply to the serosa with minimal mucosal invasion.

Findings:

The patient underwent total cystectomy without adjuvant therapy.
She remains alive and recurrence-free 8 months post-operation.

Implications:

This case highlights the possibility of bladder SRCC presenting with a linitis plastica pattern.

Prompt surgical treatment may lead to favorable outcomes in select cases of primary bladder SRCC.

Further research into the prognosis and optimal treatment strategies for bladder SRCC is warranted.
