[Primary small cell carcinoma of the bladder treated with partial cystectomy. Case report].
Primary small cell carcinomas of the bladder are extremely rare tumors with an aggressive behavior. To date, no standard therapy has been proposed. There are some brief reports about the role of conservative surgery in patients not suitable for radical surgery. We report a case of a primary bladder small cell carcinoma treated with partial cystectomy.
