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.
