OBJECTIVE: To report an additional case of small cell carcinoma treated conservatively. METHODS: Herein we describe a case of small cell carcinoma of the bladder that had been treated conservatively because of the age of the patient. The specific characteristics of the case are described and the clinical and pathological aspects of the disease are briefly reviewed. RESULTS/CONCLUSION: Although treatment of this disease is primarily by cystectomy followed by chemo and radiotherapy, organ-sparing neoadjuvant chemo and radiotherapy as an alternative to surgery could be attempted to obtain complete remission in selected patients.
