title: [Neuroendocrine cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder: a case report].
abstract: We report a case of neuroendocrine cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder. The patient was a 70-year-old man, complaining of pollakisuria. Cystoscopy and computerized tomography revealed a nonpapillary tumor. The tumor was removed by transurethral resection. Because of muscular invasion (T2) and histological grade, total cystectomy and ileal conduit were carried out. Examination of the resected specimen indicated pathological TO. He rejected our proposal to have chemotherapy. Twelve months post-operatively he was alive without recurrence.
