Adenocarcinoma of the urinary bladder, also primary adenocarcinoma of the urinary bladder and bladder adenocarcinoma, is a very uncommon malignant urinary bladder tumour.
General
Clinical:
- Like urothelial carcinoma - usually hematuria.[1]
Microscopic
Features:
- Nuclear pleomorphism - may be mild.
- Usually glandular differentiation (most common).
- Frequently looks just like colorectal adenocarcinoma.
- Without urothelial differentiation - essential.[3]
Subtypes:[2]
- Glandular.
- Papillary.
- Colloidal (mucinous).
- Signet ring cell carcinoma.
- Clear cell carcinoma (also mesonephroid carcinoma).
DDx:
- Urachal carcinoma - dome of bladder.
- Invasive urothelial carcinoma with glandular differentiation - has urothelial differentiation.
- Metastatic adenocarcinoma.

Case 1
AUB - low mag. (WC)
AUB - intermed. mag. (WC)
AUB - high mag. (WC)
IHC
Features - variable:[4]
- CK7 +ve.
- CK20 +ve.
- CDX2 +ve (strong, diffuse).
- Beta-catenin +ve (membranous, not nuclear).
- Colorectal adenocarcinoma typically has nuclear staining and membranous staining.
- Thrombomodulin +ve/-ve (~60% of cases).
- Colorectal adenocarcinoma -ve.
- Urothelial carcinoma +ve (~90% of cases).

Case 1
AUB - beta-catenin - low mag. (WC)
