A case of primary signet‐ring cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder that was found to have induced renal failure is the second such case reported in the world. Primary signet‐ring cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder is a rare histologic variant of adenocarcinoma. The patient died of distant metastasis 8 months after undergoing total cystectomy. The neoplasm had a high stage at diagnosis, so the prognosis was very poor. To improve the prognosis, earlier diagnosis and establishing a regimen of chemotherapy is necessary.
