Primary Bladder Adenocarcinoma is a rare malignancy that has been observed in a heterogeneous patient population.This case report presents a 51 year old female with muscle-invasive primary bladder adenocarcinoma diagnosed in 2008. After transurethral resection and cystectomy with ileum neobladder adjuvant radiochemotherapy was administered. Two years later, a symptomatic fistula between neobladder and ileoileal anastomosis was excised, resulting in urinary incontinency. In 2016, the patient shows no signs of disease relapse but suffers from reduction of bladder capacity.This case report presents classical symptoms of adenocarcinoma of the bladder and a possible treatment regimen with associated side effects.
