“…Mucinous adeonocarcimas are composed primarily of lakes of extracellular mucin, which are found within collections of tumor cells. These foci of mucin comprise at least half of the tumor mass (3).…”

“…The majority of primary adenocarcionams of the urinary bladder (50-60%) stem from the bladder base and the majority of the remaining cases are associated with urachal remnants (4). A previous study proposed the hypothesis that adenocarcinomas result from intestinal metaplasia caused by chronic irritation and although those arising in areas of urachal remnants may differ from those at the base, these malignancies are similar in behavior and pathology (3). Mucinous adeonocarcimas are composed primarily of lakes of extracellular mucin, which are found within collections of tumor cells.…”

Bladder cancer in a young patient: Undiscovered risk factors

Abstract. Bladder cancer is one of the most common forms of malignancies involving the urinary system and multiple risk factors have been associated with its etiology. The most common of which include cigarette smoking and various occupational or chemical exposures. It is usually diagnosed in older individuals with an average age of 70. In rare cases it is observed in children as well as young adults where it usually presents as a low-grade, non-invasive disease. In the present case report a 27-year-old male patient is discussed: The patient presented with no significant risk factors and was treated for mucinous adenocarcinoma of the bladder while further investigations were performed to identify other associated factors related to this form of malignancy. Debate in the literature exists in regards to the characteristics of bladder neoplasms in younger patients compared with older patients, however there is a lack of research into the etiology or prognosis in young patients. The present case study illustrates the case of a young adult with no clear risk factors who was diagnosed with a rare case of mucinous adenocarcinoma of the bladder.

“…The majority of bladder cancer cases (90-95%) are urothelial carcinomas, with squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma representing only 3 and 2% of the cases, respectively (2,3). The mucinous adenocarcinoma subtype is extremely rare (4). According to a previous study, there is a progressive change from mucinous metaplasia to mucinous adenoma to mucinous adenocarcinoma (5).…”

Mucinous adenocarcinoma of the bladder is rare. The most common symptoms are hematuria, suprapubic pain and dysuria. The patient in the present case was a 59-year-old female who presented with a tumor sized ~5.0×3.4 cm, located in the anterior bladder wall, which was pathologically diagnosed as mucinous bladder adenocarcinoma. The stage at presentation was considered to be advanced and inoperable, due to extensive local invasion. For this type of cancer, early diagnosis is crucial. If the cancer is limited to the bladder, the survival rate may exceed 75%. Thus, for patients with confirmed or highly suspicious bladder mucinous adenocarcinoma, radical bladder cancer resection is required. The 5-year survival rate of this type of cancer is 35-55%. In the present case, the cancer of the patient was considered inoperable and 3 months later she succumbed to the disease.

Primary mucinous adenocarcinoma is an extremely rare type of bladder cancer, with aggressive behavior and poor response to chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The symptoms are similar to those of other bladder tumors. Surgery is the main treatment and remains the only curative option. There may be a progression from mucinous metaplasia to mucinous adenoma and then mucinous adenocarcinoma. We present the case of a 40-year-old woman with recurrent lower urinary tract infections, submitted to imaging tests, which showed a bladder tumor. After transurethral resection, pathology showed intestinal mucinous carcinoma. Metastatic work-up was negative. New surgical procedure showed metaplasia but no recurrence of the carcinoma. The patient is now using antibiotic prophylaxis and will undergo a cystoscopy every 3 months and computed tomography in one year.
