Abstract

Plasmacytoid urothelial carcinoma (PUC) is a rare tumor of the urinary bladder. Its clinical and histopathological features have not been well characterized. In this study we report seven cases of PUC from our institution. A pilot case of PUC was recently diagnosed at our institution. Cases of urothelial carcinoma (UC) were reviewed for a period of seven years to identify PUC. Representative sections from each case of PUC were submitted for immunohistochemical studies. Clinical charts were reviewed. There were a total of seven cases of PUC out of 260 cases of invasive urothelial carcinoma. The common type of urothelial carcinoma (CUC) was present in focal areas in five cases. Cases with extensive PUC showed coarse and indurated mucosal folds and thickened bladder walls, with no grossly identifiable tumor. Urine cytology showed a scant number of atypical single cells, frequently without tumor diathesis, leading to a shortfall in the positive cytological diagnosis. Histologically, PUC appeared as dyscohesive, plasmacytoid cells with eccentric nuclei, extending widely into the bladder walls and extensively into adjacent pelvic organs. PUC is a distinct clinical and pathological subtype of urothelial carcinoma. The clinical present...Continue Reading
