Abstract
Neuroendocrine small cell carcinoma of the bladder is a rare and aggressive cancer with a very pejorative behavior. Neuroendocrine small cell carcinoma of bladder is a histological entity with special characteristics, rapidly aggressive and metastatic and with a poor prognosis. Because it is rare, there is no consensus to date. Its management should be multidisciplinary, involving surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. We report the case of an 84-year-old patient with neuroendocrine small cell carcinoma of the bladder, treated by neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by a combined chemoradiotherapy. A review of the literature on this topic is also presented.Entities:
