Mucinous Bladder Adenocarcinoma: Case Report and Literature Review

Abstract: 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 show… Show more

“…The prognostic factors of the cancer include tumor stage, grade and subtype. According to a previous study, if the cancer is limited to the bladder, the survival rate may exceed 75% (6). At this stage, the ultrasound appearance may resemble urinary tract infection (6).…”

“…Primary mucinous adenocarcinoma of the bladder, a subtype of PBA, are extremely uncommon, accounting for 20% of PBA (14,15). The pathogenesis of primary mucinous adenocarcinoma of the bladder is the progressive change from mucinous metaplasia and mucinous adenoma to mucinous adenocarcinoma (16). Diagnostic tests include urine biopsy, cystoscopy and cytology, and histopathological evaluation (17,18).…”

“…Mucinous subtype of primary bladder adenocarcinoma (PBA) is extremely rare. Progressive change from mucinous metaplasia to mucinous adenoma to mucinous adenocarcinoma has been suggested as pathogenesis [2]. Diagnostic investigations are urinary cytology, cystoscopy, and biopsy followed by histopathological evaluation.…”
