ABSTRACT
The occurrence of a primary carcinoid tumour of the urinary bladder is extremely rare. The case of a 35 year-old male with carcinoid tumour arising in the urinary bladder is presented. Transurethral resection of a polypoid small tumour [1.0 cm in diameter] was performed. Immunohistochemical study using neuroendocrine markers allowed a straightforward diagnosis of a low-grade neuroendocrine tumour [carcinoid tumour] of the urinary bladder to be made. This tumour shows specific clinical, gross and histological features and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of bladder neoplasms
