Abstract

Objective To investigate the clinical features of primary signet-ring carcinoma of urinary bladder(PSCC). Methods A case of PSCC was studied retrospectively by reviewing medical literature. Radical cystectomy and Bricker operation was performed. Results The histopathological diagnosis on the surgical specimen showed signet-ring carcinoma. This Patient died 5 months after operation. Conclusion PSCC is an exceedingly rare and aggressive variant of primary bladder carcinoma. This tumor initially presents as a high-grade, high-stage lesion and diffusely invades the bladder wall with poor prognosis.
