Metastasis from urothelial carcinoma to the testis is rare. This case report presented an extremely rare case of testicular metastasis from renal pelvis carcinoma in a 69 year old man who had experienced painless left testicular swelling, after he underwent radical nephroureterectomy and bladder cuff excision for the urothelial carcinoma of left renal pelvis ten years ago. Physical examination ...

INTRODUCTION Prior studies have shown genetic similarities between upper tract and bladder urothelial carcinoma. However, upper tract urothelial carcinoma tends to be higher grade than bladder urothelial carcinoma and tends to form in patients with certain familial conditions (e.g. Lynch Syndrome), indicating there may be unique biologic processes in these tumors. The purpose of this study was ...

BACKGROUND Brenner tumors are relatively rare ovarian neoplasms with very few reported cases associating these tumors and urothelial carcinomas with different characteristics and particularities. CASE REPORT We report an unusual clinical case of borderline unilateral Brenner tumor of the ovary associated with a highly recurrent diffuse low-grade papillary urothelial carcinoma of the upper and...

Urothelial Carcinoma (UC) is one of the most frequent cancers worldwide. Transurethral Resection Bladder Tumor (TURBT) a standard treatment in disease’s early stages, with bladder perforation being possible and classical complication. However, extravesical tumor seeding resulting from rare phenomenon. We hereby report case 76-year-old man history smoking diagnosed high-grade T1 urothelial carci...

We present the case of 80-year-old male with superficial papillary urothelial carcinoma of the urinary bladder with striking multicystic architecture with a combination of features of urothelial carcinoma with gland-like lumina, with signet-ring cell differentiation and microcystic pattern. However, the tumor shared the morphologic features of several variants of urothelial carcinoma, the most ...

Objective: To analyze the clinicopathological spectrum of urothelial carcinoma of urinary bladder. Study Design: Descriptive case series. Place and Duration of Study: Armed Forces Institute of Pathology (AFIP), from 1st January 2012 to 31st October 2013. Patients and methods: All cases of urothelial carcinoma were retrieved from AFIP tumour registry. Age, gender, histological type, grade and va...

Introduction. Plasmacytoid urothelial carcinoma (PUC) of the bladder is a rare histological variant of urothelial carcinoma that was recently identified. Available data on this histological variant is limited. Case Report. We report the case of a 75-year-old man with presumed history of high-grade urothelial cancer of the bladder, treated with transurethral resection and Bacille Calmette-Guérin...

UNLABELLED While not an uncommon tumor, urothelial carcinoma of the urinary bladder is rare in bladders draining pancreatic allografts. A case of urothelial carcinoma directly involving a pancreatic allograft with metastasis that occurred in a 49-year-old pancreas and kidney transplant recipient is described. Her initial clinical presentation and findings of CT scan of the abdomen suggested pan...

Plasmacytoid urothelial carcinoma of the bladder represents a rare and aggressive variant of urothelial carcinoma, which is usually diagnosed at an advanced pathologic stage. Until now, no reports exist on this rare tumor type in the upper urinary tract. Herein, we present the first report on the clinical course of a metastatic plasmacytoid urothelial carcinoma of the renal pelvis and show its ...

A proportion of patients under surveillance for recurrent bladder carcinoma with no immediate evidence of bladder tumor recurrence have positive multitarget fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH; UroVysion, Vysis, Downers Grove, IL) results. The course of these "anticipatory positive" cases and the time to bladder tumor recurrence remains unknown. We followed up 250 patients with urine cytol...
