abstract: We report the case of a 95 year-old female patient who died from hypovolemic shock caused by severe hematuria and abdominal hemorrhage. The necropsy demonstrated a primary signet-ring cell adenocarcinoma of the urinary bladder. The diagnosis, prognosis and histogenesis of this uncommon tumor are discussed.
