COBO-DOLS, M. et al. Primary signet-ring cell adenocarcinoma of the urinary bladder: a case report. Oncología (Barc.) [online]. 2006, vol.29, n.4, pp.45-48. ISSN 0378-4835.

Primary signet-ring cell adenocarcinoma of the urinary bladder is a rare tumor. We report in this study the case of a 53 year old man consulting for gross hematuria. Computed tomography imaging demonstrated right hydronephrosis and an invasive bladder tumor. The bladder biopsy showed a signet-ring cell carcinoma; the exploration of the gastrointestinal tract did nor reveal any other tumor localization. A total cystoprostatectomy was performed followed by adjuvant chemotherapy with cisplatin and gemcitabine. The aim of this study is to determine the anatomoclinical, therapeutic and evolutionary characteristics of this rare tumor.
