Urinary Bladder Tumour, Transurethral Resection:
- Invasive adenocarcinoma into the lamina propria, see comment.
- Muscularis propria not sampled.
- Negative for lymphovascular invasion.

Comment:
No urothelial carcinoma component is identified. 

The differential diagnosis includes (1) primary adenocarcinoma of the 
bladder, (2) adenocarcinoma from another organ (direct extension or 
metastasis), (3) urothelial carcinoma with glandular differentiation 
without sampled urothelial carcinoma, and (4) urachal adenocarcinoma.

Immunostaining of the tumour is as follows:
POSITIVE: CK7, CK20, CK34betaE12.
NEGATIVE: beta-catenin (membranous pattern only, nuclei are negative).

The immunoprofile (beta-catenin = nuclei negative, CK7 = positive) and 
presence of an in situ component favours a primary adenocarcinoma of 
the bladder; however, this is uncommon. Nonprimary adenocarcinoma 
(e.g. colorectal adenocarcinoma) should be excluded clinically.
