Adenocarcinoma of the urinary bladder, also primary adenocarcinoma of the urinary bladder and bladder adenocarcinoma, is a very uncommon malignant urinary bladder tumour.
General
- Very rare.[1]
Clinical:
- Like urothelial carcinoma - usu. hematuria.[1]
Microscopic
Features:
- Nuclear pleomorphism - may be mild.
- Glandular differentiation (common).
- No urothelial differentiation - essential.[2]
DDx:
- Urachal carcinoma - dome of bladder.
- Invasive urothelial carcinoma with glandular differentiation - has urothelial differentiation.
- Metastatic adenocarcinoma.
IHC
Features - variable:[3]
- 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).
