Abstract

Adenocarcinoma of the urinary bladder comprises 0.5–2% of all bladder carcinomas. The mucinous subtype is rare and comprises 20% of primary bladder adenocarcinomas [1, 2]. The histologic appearance of the bladder adenocarcinoma can be of enteric, signet ring, mucinous, clear cell, hepatoid, or mixed types. The most common form of bladder adenocarcinoma is metastatic adenocarcinoma that usually focuses on the rectum, stomach, endometrium, breast, prostate, and ovaries [3–5]. We report a case of primary mucinous adenocarcinoma of the bladder, similar in immunohistochemistry to colon carcinoma, which exhibited complete response to a FOLFOX regimen.
