A Rare Case of the Urinary Bladder: Small Cell Carcinoma

Abstract

Small cell carcinoma generally originates from the lungs. However, rarely, it could be observed in organs other than the lungs. Primary small cell carcinoma of the bladder is a rare and aggressive disease and it generally presents itself with metastasis. Although there has not been a consensus on the method of treatment for this rare disease, multimodal treatment is recommended. In this study, we present long-term results of transurethral resection in a patient with non-muscle-invasive primary small cell carcinoma who refused additional treatments.
