Computed tomography (CT) scan of abdomen and pelvis revealed no evidence of obstructive uropathy, diffuse thickening of the wall of the urinary bladder, and brachytherapy radiation seeds in the prostate (Figure 1).
Histopathology of the resected bladder lesion. (a) Low-power field H&E stain reveals invasive poorly differentiated carcinoma infiltrates lamina propria and muscularis propria. (b) High-power field H&E stain reveals large polygonal-shape cells with low nuclear to cytoplasmic ratio, coarse chromatin structure, multiple nucleoli, and high rate of mitosis. (c) Immunohistochemical stain positive for chromogranin and (d) negative for PSA.

TTF-1 and negative for CK-7, CK-20, PSA, and PAP (Figure 2). This carcinoma was histologically distinct from the previous prostate adenocarcinoma and consistent with large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC).
