Résumé

Le carcinome neuroendocrine à petites cellules de la vessie est une tumeur rare, agressive, d’évolution très péjorative. Le carcinome neuroendocrine à petites cellules de la vessie représente une entité histologique particulière ayant un caractère rapidement agressif et métastatique, avec un pronostic sévère. En raison de sa rareté, aucun consensus n’existe à ce jour. Sa prise en charge doit être multidisciplinaire, associant chirurgie, chimiothérapie et radiothérapie. Nous rapportons l’observation d’un patient âgé de 66 ans ayant un carcinome neuroendocrine à petites cellules pur de la vessie révélé après résection transurétrale de la vessie. Une revue générale de la littérature sur ce sujet suit la description du cas clinique.

Abstract

Neuroendocrine small cell carcinoma of the bladder is a rare and aggressive cancer with a very pejorative behavior. Neuroendocrine small cell carcinoma of the bladder is a histological entity with special characteristics, rapidly aggressive and metastatic, with a poor prognosis. Because it is rare, there is no consensus to date. Its management should be multidisciplinary, involving surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy of the bladder. We report the case of a 66-years-old patient with neuroendocrine small cell carcinoma of the bladder revealed after a bladder transurethral resection. A general review of the literature on this subject follows the description of the clinical case.
