title: [Bladder adenocarcinoma with glandular cystitis areas].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To describe a case of adenocarcinoma of the urinary bladder.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 63-year-old patient consulted for gross hematuria. Ultrasound evaluation showed a bladder neoplasm and CT demonstrated extensive infiltration of adjacent structures.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Histological analysis of the TUR specimen confirmed a muscle infiltrating glandular neoplasm (adenocarcinoma) with diffuse areas of cystitis glandularis. Patient evolution has been poor and he is now in the end stage of the disease.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The morphology is not unlike that of colorectal carcinoma, which should be distinguished. The association of areas of cystitis glandularis indicates a possible relationship.
