Abstract

To investigate whether prognosis in micropapillary urothelial carcinoma is related to the proportion of the micropapillary component (MPC), and to identify the immunohistochemical features of MPC. This study presents a clinicopathological analysis of 20 patients with micropapillary urothelial carcinoma of the bladder with cystectomy specimens for evaluation. Tumours were stratified on the extent of MPC: focal, <10%; moderate, 10-50%; extensive, >50%; and this was correlated with tumour stage and prognosis. Sixteen males and four females were aged 56-81 years (mean 69 years). All cases had high-grade morphology in the micropapillary carcinoma and typical urothelial carcinoma. All cases with extensive MPC (n = 4) were of a high pathological stage (pT3 or pT4) and died of disease (DOD) or other causes. Eighty percent with moderate MPC (eight of 10 cases) were pT3 or pT4 and 50% DOD or are alive with disease. Eighty-four percent with focal MPC (five of six cases) were pT1 or pTa. In high-stage cases, the most invasive component was MPC. High-stage cases had an 85% risk of being advanced at presentation with micropapillary carcinoma. All pT2 or lower stage cases had micropapillary carcinoma on prior transurethral resections of bladd...Continue Reading
