All small cell carcinomas of the urinary system identified so far have been located in the urinary bladder, most commonly in the dome and vesical lateral wall
Summary
The bladder is a hollow organ in the pelvis with flexible, muscular walls. The bladder is an organ located in the lower abdominal area near the pelvic bones that acts as a reservoir for urine. Squamous cell carcinoma of the bladder can involve multiple sites; the lateral wall and trigone are more commonly involved by this tumor. All small cell carcinomas of the urinary system identified so far have been located in the urinary bladder, most commonly in the dome and vesical lateral wall. Bladder cancer begins when cells in the urinary bladder start to grow uncontrollably. As more cancer cells develop, they can form a tumor and spread to other areas of the body. Tumors occur when there is an error in this regulation and cells continue to grow in an uncontrolled way.
