Undifferentiated small cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder.
We have reported a case of small cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder in a 65-year-old white man with a smoking history. He had radical cystectomy, but died 6 months after initial diagnosis. The patient terminally had liver metastasis, confirmed by fine needle aspiration and radiographic evidence of intra-abdominal and right adrenal gland metastasis.
