Among neuroendocrine tumors of the urinary bladder, small cell carcinoma (SCCB) is the most common one. Less frequent is carcinoid tumour and very rare is a large-cell neuroendocrine carcinoma. Small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma is a very aggressive tumour, with major frequency in the seventh decade. In 95% of patients it presents with hematuria and muscle invasive disease. A case of a patient with the urinary bladder tumour, which had muscle invasion and extension in perivesical tissue, was presented. The patient was diagnosed with combined form of the tumour, consisting of small cell and squamous cell patterns. Some of the imunochistochemical markers used in diagnosis were chromogranin A, synaptophysin, cytokeratins, LCA and Ki-67. Consequently, neuroendocrine differentiation of small cell patterns of the tumour was proven. Neoadjuvant cisplatin- based chemotherapy followed by radical resection should be considered as the treatment of choice in surgically resectabile SCCB. Because of that it is essential to make histopathologic diagnosis of SCCB in transuretral tumour samples using, chromogranin A or synapthysin.

D014408 Biomarkers, Tumor Molecular products metabolized and secreted by neoplastic tissue and characterized biochemically in cells or BODY FLUIDS. They are indicators of tumor stage and grade as well as useful for monitoring responses to treatment and predicting recurrence. Many chemical groups are represented including HORMONES; ANTIGENS; amino and NUCLEIC ACIDS; ENZYMES; POLYAMINES; and specific CELL MEMBRANE PROTEINS and LIPIDS.

D016708 Synaptophysin A MARVEL domain-containing protein found in the presynaptic vesicles of NEURONS and NEUROENDOCRINE CELLS. It is commonly used as an immunocytochemical marker for neuroendocrine differentiation. p38 Membrane Protein, Synaptic Vesicle
D053379 Chromogranin A A type of chromogranin which was first isolated from CHROMAFFIN CELLS of the ADRENAL MEDULLA but is also found in other tissues and in many species including human, bovine, rat, mouse, and others. It is an acidic protein with 431 to 445 amino acid residues. It contains fragments that inhibit vasoconstriction or release of hormones and neurotransmitter, while other fragments exert antimicrobial actions.

D018278 Carcinoma, Neuroendocrine A group of carcinomas which share a characteristic morphology, often being composed of clusters and trabecular sheets of round "blue cells", granular chromatin, and an attenuated rim of poorly demarcated cytoplasm. Neuroendocrine tumors include carcinoids, small ("oat") cell carcinomas, medullary carcinoma of the thyroid, Merkel cell tumor, cutaneous neuroendocrine carcinoma, pancreatic islet cell tumors, and pheochromocytoma. Neurosecretory granules are found within the tumor cells. (Segen, Dictionary of Modern Medicine, 1992) Carcinomas, Neuroendocrine,Neuroendocrine Carcinoma,Neuroendocrine Carcinomas
D018288 Carcinoma, Small Cell An anaplastic, highly malignant, and usually bronchogenic carcinoma composed of small ovoid cells with scanty neoplasm. It is characterized by a dominant, deeply basophilic nucleus, and absent or indistinct nucleoli.
