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. | |||
