[Oat cell carcinoma of the bladder].
Small cell carcinoma (CCP) of the urinary bladder is an uncommon tumor, having usually an aggressive behavior. We report a new case of CCP seen at our centre and we communicate the applied therapeutic method. Although total cystectomy followed by chemo and radiotherapy seems to be the most effective treatment, we have carried out radical RTU of the bladder accompanied by chemo and radiotherapy as conservative therapy obtaining complete remission after 2 year of diagnosis, without local and distant evidence of the disease.
