Compatible with PRIMARY ADENOCARCINOMA OF THE URINARY BLADDER
Comment:
These tumours look like colorectal adenocarcinoma. Beta-cateninin is the one stain that is useful; in primary adenocarcinoma the nucleus is negative and in colorectal cancer it stains the nucleus.
In these types of cases, the history should be scrutinized for a history of colorectal carcinoma and urothelial carcinoma. A history of urothelial carcinoma raises the possibility of urothelial carcinoma with glandular differentiation. It's not urachal adenocarcinoma as it isn't in the dome.
