ADENOCARCINOMA WITH NEUROENDOCRINE DIFFERENTIATION OF THE URINARY-BLADDER - CLINICOPATHOLOGICAL, IMMUNOHISTOCHEMICAL, AND ULTRASTRUCTURAL-STUDY ARCHIVES OF PATHOLOGY & LABORATORY MEDICINE ABENOZA, P., MANIVEL, C., Sibley, R. K. 1986; 110 (11): 1062-1066

Abstract

We describe a primary mixed adenocarcinoma-neuroendocrine carcinoma of the urinary bladder of probable urachal origin. Neuroendocrine differentiation was confirmed by ultrastructural (neurosecretory granules) and immunohistochemical studies (chromogranin and neuron-specific enolase). Two local recurrences and multiple metastases consisted exclusively of the neuroendocrine component. The patient died 30 months after diagnosis with widely metastatic neuroendocrine carcinoma.
