Abstract

Primary adenocarcinoma of the urinary bladder is a relatively rare neoplasia, accounting for 0.5-2% of primary bladder malignancies. One of the subgroups of primary adenocarcinoma is the mucinous type, which, according to various data, accounts for only one fifth of primary adenocarcinomas of the urinary bladder.

In the presented clinical case, the patient is a 69-year-old man, intra- and paravesicular tissue growth was detected on ultrasound examination. For the purpose of detailed assessment of the mentioned formation, the patient underwent magnetic resonance imaging. Transurethral resection of the tumor was performed on the patient. The diagnosis of primary mucinous adenocarcinoma of the urinary bladder was confirmed by the morphological and immunohistochemical study of the obtained material. A course of neoadjuvant chemotherapy was planned. Computed tomography was performed before treatment. At this stage, a course of chemotherapy is in progress and a radical cystectomy is planned.
