Abstract:
Pure primary carcinoid tumor of the urinary bladder is an exceedingly rare lesion with less than twenty cases reported in the English language literature. These tumors are typically small and rarely invade past the lamina propria. Amenable to transurethral resection alone, they are associated with a favorable prognosis. We present a case of pure primary carcinoid tumor of the bladder discovered on T2-weighted pelvic magnetic resonance imaging.
