To characterize the cytologic spectrum of small cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder, a review of 42 urinary cytology specimens from 13 patients with histologically proven tumors was conducted. Patients' ages ranged from 45 to 81 yr (mean 68.9). In four tumors, small cell carcinoma was the sole mal
Small cell carcinomas (SCCs) represent a rare histological subtype of urinary bladder cancer. Little is known abut the genetic alterations in these tumours. To identify chromosomal aberrations that are typically present in SCC of the urinary bladder, ten tumours were analysed by comparative genomic
