Micropapillary urothelial carcinoma
Diagnosis in short

Urothelial carcinoma with micropapillary features. H&E stain.
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
Site urothelium - urinary bladder, ureter, renal pelvis, urethra (males)

Signs hematuria (typical presentation)
Prevalence rare
Prognosis poor (aggressive course)

Micropapillary urothelial carcinoma (abbreviated MPUC), also micropapillary urothelial cell carcinoma (abbreviated MPUCC), is an aggressive variant of urothelial carcinoma.[1]

General

Microscopic

Features:[1]

  • Micropapillae - definitional.
    • Nipple-like structures without fibrovascular cores.
    • Quantity of micropapillary pattern (percentage) is variable.[2]
  • Conventional urothelial carcinoma (typical).

DDx:

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