چکیده

micropapillary variant of urothelial carcinoma (uc) of the bladder is an aggressive tumour, comprising 0.6-6% of all uc. it generally presents with high-grade and stage, and has been reported as having a worse prognosis when compared to traditional uc. we report the case of a 58-year-old man who presented with macroscopic haematuria. the patient was diagnosed with high-grade urothelial carcinoma and returned with recurrence after 16 months. histopathology after transurethral biopsy revealed a non-muscle invasive high-grade bladder tumour at first presentation, whereas tumour recurrence was reported after 1.5years. the histopathology at recurrence revealed a high-grade, muscle invasive, micropapillary variant of urothelial carcinoma with focal adenomatous morphology. immunohistochemical expression of ck7 + /ck20 + in tumour cells and negativity for psa, amacr, and cdx2 in paraffin section helped in identifying the tumour as primary in the urinary bladder. radical cystectomy was performed and the patient has no distant metastases on follow-up. the specific morphology even within the high-grade urothelial cancer cases is important to discern for proper treatment.

Micropapillary Variant of Urothelial Carcinoma

Micropapillary carcinoma (MPC) of urinary tract is an uncommon variant of urothelial carcinoma with significant diagnostic and prognostic implications. Though MPC shows characteristic microscopic features, there exists interobserver variability and also it needs to be differentiated from the metastasis from other organs. The prognosis is generally poor, depending on the proportion of the microp...

Cytological Findings of the Micropapillary Variant of Urothelial Carcinoma: A Comparison with Typical High-Grade Urothelial Carcinoma

BACKGROUND Micropapillary variant of urothelial carcinoma (MPUC) showed distinct pathologic features and aggressive behavior. The cytologic findings of MPUC are still indistinct. In this study, we evaluated the cytological findings of MPUC compared with those of high-grade urothelial carcinoma (HGUC). METHODS The voided urine cytology of 8 cases of MPUC and 8 cases of HGUC was reviewed. Follo...

High-grade hyperinvasive sarcomatoid urothelial bladder carcinoma demonstrating complete response to bladder-preserving chemoradiation

The standard treatment for locally advanced urothelial bladder carcinoma is radical cystectomy or chemoradiation. Sarcomatoid urothelial carcinoma, a rare tumour, is treated with radical cystectomy because the response to radiation therapy alone is poor in other sarcomas. We report a case of high-grade hyperinvasive urothelial bladder carcinoma with sarcomatoid differentiation. The patient refu...

Micropapillary urothelial carcinoma of the ureter.

Micropapillary urothelial carcinoma (MPUC) is a rare aggressive variant of urothelial carcinoma, associated with advanced tumor stage, high tendency to invade lymphovascular spaces, and metastasize to lymph nodes and other organs. Therefore, it has a poor prognosis. One of the most prominent histological features is the presence of small, round empty spaces surrounding infiltrating tumor nests....
