title: [A case of primary adenocarcinoma of the urinary bladder occurring in a patient with type 1 multiple endocrine adenomatosis (MEA)].
abstract: A case of primary adenocarcinoma of the urinary bladder occurring in a patient with type 1 multiple endocrine adenomatosis (MEA) is presented. The patient was a 36-year-old female who had a past history of type 1 multiple endocrine adenomatosis, namely, adenomatosis of the parathyroid gland, insulin and gastrin-producing adenomatosis of the pancreas, and prolactin-producing pituitary adenoma. She was admitted in January 1981 with the complaints of gross hematuria, pollakisuria and micturition pain lasting for about one year and a half. Cystoscopic examination revealed four solid tumors in the posterior and left lateral walls of the bladder with diffuse mucosal hyperemia. Biopsy of the tumors disclosed that they were adenocarcinoma. Clinical examinations revealed that there was no extravesical primary malignant neoplasm in this case. Radical cystectomy with urinary diversion by ileal conduit was performed on January 22, 1981. Histological examination revealed that the tumor was adenocarcinoma originating from the vesical mucosa. Follow-up for over three years since the time of surgery has not shown any sign of tumor recurrence or occurrence of extravesical malignant neoplasm. In addition, 28 cases of primary adenocarcinoma of urinary bladder in Japan reported during the last 25 years are reviewed and analyzed.
