Plasmacytoid urothelial carcinoma, also plasmacytoid urothelial cell carcinoma and plasmacytoid variant of urothelial carcinoma, is a rare aggressive variant of urothelial carcinoma.
General
Features:[1]
- Aggresive.
- Uncommon.
- Often associated with positive margins (relative to other urothelial carcinoma variants); spreads along fascial planes.[2]
Microscopic
Features:
- Plasmacytoid morphology:
- Abundant gray cytoplasm.
- Eccentric nucleus - usually round, occasionally crescentic.
- +/-Mucous (common).
DDx:
- Plasma cell neoplasm.
- Signet ring cell carcinoma.
- Mucinous adenocarcinoma.
- Invasive lobular carcinoma of the breast.

IHC
Features:[3]
- AE1/AE3 +ve (16 +ve/16 cases).
- EMA +ve (16 +ve/16 cases).
- CK7 +ve (16 +ve/16 cases).
- CK20 +ve (16 +ve/16 cases).
- CD138 (15 +ve/16 cases).
- p63 (11 +ve/16 cases).
Others:
- E-cadherin -ve (0 positive of 4 cases[4]).
Molecular
- CDH1 loss of function - common.[5]
