Introduction: Small cell carcinoma of the bladder (SCC) is a poorly differentiated neuroendocrine (NE) neoplasm accounting less than 1% of all bladder tumors, 1/3 are admixed with conventional urothelial carcinoma and hematuria is the most common clinical presentation. The unknown etiology and natural history of SCC represent a challenge for its diagnosis and treatment.

Aim(s): Study the clinical and pathologic characteristics of SCC of the urinary bladder.

Materials and methods: Clinicopathological data from 12 cases of pure or mixed SCC diagnosed in our center with immunohistochemical stains (IHC) to confirm NE differentiation.
