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 carcinom...

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....

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...

Invasive micropapillary variant of mucinous carcinoma breast is an under-recognized category which shares features both pure and invasive carcinoma. Due to its greater propensity for nodal metastasis angioinvasion, the prognosis in this subtype worser than breast. Here we report a case 43-year-old female.

BACKGROUND Micropapillary bladder cancer is a rare and aggressive variant of urothelial carcinoma. A retrospective review of our experience in management of patients with muscle-invasive or metastatic micropapillary bladder cancer was performed to better define the behavior of this disease. METHODS We reviewed the records of the 11 patients with micropapillary bladder cancer who were evaluate...
