Micropapillary urothelial carcinoma
Diagnosis in short

Urothelial carcinoma with invasive micropapillary features. H&E stain.
LM nests of tumour cells with clefting to the surrounding stroma (invasive pattern)
Subtypes (subtype of urothelial carcinoma)
LM DDx conventional urothelial carcinoma, other micropapillary carcinomas (metastases)
IHC CK7 +ve, CK20 +ve/-ve, GATA3 +ve, p63 -ve/+ve
Grossing notes radical cystectomy grossing, cystoprostatectomy grossing, nephroureterectomy grossing
Staging bladder cancer staging
Site urothelium - urinary bladder, ureter, renal pelvis, urethra (males)
Signs hematuria (typical presentation)
Prevalence rare
Prognosis poor (aggressive course)
Treatment cystectomy/cytoprostatectomy - advocated for cT1 disease by some

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 - either:

  1. Micropapillae:[1]
    • Nipple-like structures without fibrovascular cores.
  2. The invasive pattern of micropapillary urothelial carcinoma is nests of tumour cells with clefting to the surrounding stroma.

Notes:

  • In other organs, adenocarcinoma would be in the differential diagnosis. It should be noted that (primary) adenocarcinoma of the urinary bladder looks quite different than micropapillary urothelial carcinoma.
  • Quantity of micropapillary pattern (percentage) is variable.[2]

DDx:

  • Metastasis (breast, ovary, lung, pancreas, salivary gland).

IHC

Features:

Others:[4]

  • p63 -ve/+ve.
  • p40 -ve/+ve.

Sign out

  • Report percentage of micropapillary pattern - suggested.[citation needed]
  • In 2012, Amin and Epstein suggested that one distinguish between the invasive and non-invasive micropapillary pattern.[5] The WHO GU Book of 2016 suggests not using the term micropapillary carcinoma if only the non-invasive pattern is present.[6]
