A 13 year young boy presented with complaints of abdominal pain and haematuria. His CT scan showed a growth in the bladder, with extension into the right ureter and pelvis. Cystoscopic biopsy was reported as papillary adenocarcinoma of urinary bladder. The patient underwent radical cystectomy, right nephroureterctomy and left ureterosigmoidostomy. He received 6 cycles of chemotherapy comprising of methotrexate, adriamycin, vinblastine and etoposide. Two years later, he presented with acute intestinal obstruction due to a growth in the ileum. Eight months later, the patient died due to metastatic disease.
