Abstract
Being a very rare histopathological type, neuroendocrine tumors are rather aggressive tumors that are usually diagnosed at an advanced stage. Neuroendocrine bladder tumor represents less than 1% of all bladder cancers. Though diagnosed in similar age period of 6th to 8th decade like urothelial carcinoma, its histopathological features and its poor prognosis are apart and rather similar to the small cell cancer of the lung. In this case report, we present a case of high-grade small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of bladder in an elderly man.
