Abstract:
A case of a clear cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder is reported. A 48-year-old female was referred to our hospital complaining of gross hematuria and terminal dysuria. She had a nodular tumor, 3x4cm in diameter, located on the bladder neck, trigone and posterior urethra. The patient underwent anterior pelvic exenteration and urinary diversion with an ileal conduit. A histopathological examination revealed a tumor composed of cells with eosinophilic cytoplasm, and partly of cells with clear cytoplasm or hobnail-shaped cells, arranged in tubular and papillary architectures. This showed the findings of a clear cell adenocarcinoma of the bladder and urethra. The patient underwent 6 courses of adjuvant chemotherapy with cisplatin and 5-FU. The patient shows no evidence of recurrence or metastasis at the 8 month postoperative follow-up.
