Abstract:
Adenocarcinoma of the bladder is a rare tumor. It's incidence figures in the ranges of 0.5 to 2.0 percent of all epithelial bladder neoplasms. Adenocarcinoma of the bladder occurs more frequently in areas which schistosomiasis is endemic and is the most common malignant tumor arising in the exstrophic bladder or urachus. Primary adenocarcinoma of the bladder must be carefully differentiated from the adenocarcinomas that originate within the urachus, prostate, seminal vesicle, breast, gastrointestinal tract or other organs. This report describes a 43 years old male who was diagnosed as an infiltrative adenocarcinoma of the bladder by the preoperative evaluation and transurethral resection of bladder and was confirmed by the pathologic examination following pelvic exenteration as the primary adenocarcinoma or the bladder extended to the prostate and rectum and was followed by chemotherapy without evidence of metastasis.
