Micropapillary urothelial carcinoma (abbreviated MPUC), also micropapillary urothelial cell carcinoma (abbreviated MPUCC), is an aggressive variant of urothelial carcinoma.[1]
General
Treatment:
- cT1 disease treated by radical cystectomy in some centres.[3]
Microscopic
Features:[1]
- Micropapillae - definitional.
- Nipple-like structures without fibrovascular cores.
- Quantity of micropapillary pattern (percentage) is variable.[2]
- Conventional urothelial carcinoma (typical).
Note:
- In other organs, adenocarcinoma would be in the differential diagnosis. It should be noted that adenocarcinoma of the urinary bladder looks quite different than micropapillary urothelial carcinoma.
DDx:
- Metastasis (breast, ovary, lung, pancreas, salivary gland).
