Primary malignant bladder carcinoid--a diagnostic and management dilemma.
A middle-aged man who presented with gross hematuria and irritative voiding symptoms was found to have an invasive infiltrating primary bladder carcinoid after radical cystoprostatectomy. Hurricane chest secondaries were prominent in the follow-up evaluation. The immunohistochemical markers for neuroendocrine differentiation were substantiated. The published reports of primary bladder carcinoid tumors are discussed.
