Abstract

A primary signet ring cell carcinoma (PSRCC) of the urinary bladder is a rare variant of a mucin-producing adenocarcinoma. The prognosis of a PSRCC is poor, as silent progression in a linitis platica fashion leads to delayed diagnosis. Herein, the case of a PSRCC of the bladder, which extended to the prostate, which was treated with a cystoprostatectomy, is reported.
