Abstract

A 74-year-old man presented with further treatment for muscle invasive small cell carcinoma of the bladder. After three courses of neoadjuvant chemotherapy with cisplatine + etoposide (EP), total cystectomy was performed. The pathological findings revealed small cell carcinoma of the bladder (ypT2N0M0). Eleven months after the operation, thoracoabdominal computed tomography (CT) showed right pelvic lymph node metastasis. He underwent 9 courses of EP chemotherapy, and everolimus, finally, Amrubicin was administered. Amrubicin might be useful for small cell carcinoma of the bladder.
