The occurrence of a primary carcinoid tumour of the urinary bladder is extremely rare. The case of a 35 year-old male with carcinoid tumour arising in the urinary bladder is presented. Transurethral resection of a polypoid small tumour (1.0 cm in diameter) was performed. Immunohistochemical study using neuroendocrine markers allowed a straightforward diagnosis of a low-grade neuroendocrine tumour (carcinoid tumour) of the urinary bladder to be made. This tumour shows specific clinical, gross and histological features and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of bladder neoplasms.
