Adenocarcinoma of the urinary bladder is unusual, constituting about 2% of all primary carcinomas of the bladder. Bladder adenocarcinoma consisting chiefly of signet ring cells and those that have a linitis plastica pattern of infiltration is extremely rare. Not many cases have been reported in literature. To the best of our knowledge less than 100 cases of signet-ring cell adenocarcinoma of the urinary bladder have been reported and that of linitis plastica are even less. We hereby report an unusual case and provide a relevant review of literature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
