Primary small-cell carcinoma arising from the bladder (SmCCB) is uncommon. It differs from urothelial carcinoma (UC), the most common type of bladder cancer, with respect to its cell of origin, biology, and prognosis. Biologically, prostatic SmCCB is much more aggressive than UC, and the prognosis for cases with distant metastasis is especially poor. We report here a case of primary SmCCB (cT3bN1M0) treated with radical cystectomy.

Background: Small cell carcinoma of the bladder is an uncommon but clinically aggressive disease. There is no standard surgical or medical management for the disease. Methods: Between 1995 and 2009, 28 patients underwent transurethral resection (TUR) and/or cystectomy, chemotherapy, and/or radiation for small cell carcinoma of the bladder at our institution. Results: The median follow-up for survivors was 34 months. Patients presented most often with muscle-invasive disease (T2-4 - 89%), and 21% had lymph node/distant metastases. Tobacco use and chemical exposure were noted in 64 and 4% of patients, respectively. Patients with T1-2N0M0 had a median survival of 22 months compared to 8 months for those with more advanced disease (p = 0.03). Patients with T3-4 or nodal/metastatic disease who were given chemotherapy had an improved survival compared to those with T3-4 or nodal/metastatic disease who did not undergo chemotherapy (13 vs. 4 months, p = 0.005). The median time to recurrence of the entire cohort was 8 months, overall and cancer-specific survival was 14 months, and 5-year survival was 11%. Conclusions: Small cell carcinoma of the bladder is an aggressive disease with poor outcomes. Patients with T1-2N0M0 disease survived longer than those with advanced disease. Patients with T3-4 or nodal/metastatic disease had improved survival with chemotherapy.
