Long Surviving Patient with Metastatic Neuroendocrine Bladder Cancer: About a Case Report

Abstract

Florence Lai Tiong

Introduction: Primitive Neuroendocrine bladder tumors are very rare and with a poor prognosis. Case report: We report the case of a white 57 year-old man diagnosed with a 6-centimetre primitive neuroendocrine urinary bladder carcinoma associated with a right-retroperitoneal metastasis. He underwent surgery: radical cystoprostatectomy and large lymph node dissection. The histopathology showed small neuroendocrine cells in the bladder and a prostate carcinoma (a low-risk cancer). At seven months post presentation, metastasis appeared at the bottom of the left kidney and in the retroperitoneum, the previous metastasis’ place. The patient was treated with a Cisplatin and Etoposide chemotherapy regimen, every three weeks, for six cycles. He is watched for twenty-eight months. Conclusion: Therefore, their management has to be collaborative.
