Adenocarcinoma in extrophy of the bladder. A case report and review of the literature.

It demonstrates the problem of early diagnosis of carcinoma in extrophy of the bladder and the therapeutic consequences of an early cystectomy. In accordance with current literature we illustrate the theories on oncogenesis, and review the cases previously published.
