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. | |||

Adenocarcinoma of the urinary bladder, also primary adenocarcinoma of the urinary bladder and bladder adenocarcinoma, is a very uncommon malignant urinary bladder tumour.
General
Clinical:
- Like urothelial carcinoma - usually hematuria.[1]
Microscopic
Features:
- Nuclear pleomorphism - may be mild.
- Usually glandular differentiation (most common).
- Frequently looks just like colorectal adenocarcinoma.
- Without urothelial differentiation - essential.[3]
- +/-Evidence of invasion such as:
- Desmoplastic stroma.
- Extensive disordered or cribriform growth.
Subtypes:[2]
- Glandular.
- Papillary.
- Colloidal (mucinous).
- Signet ring cell carcinoma.
- Clear cell carcinoma (also mesonephroid carcinoma).
Note:
- The presence of adenocarcinoma in situ suggests the lesion arose in the bladder.[citation needed]
DDx:
- Urachal adenocarcinoma - dome of bladder.
- Invasive urothelial carcinoma with glandular differentiation - has urothelial differentiation.
- Metastatic adenocarcinoma or extension of adenocarcinoma from a nearby structure
- Tubular adenoma of the urinary tract.[4]

Case 2 - AIS

IHC
Features - variable:[5]
- CK7 +ve.
- CK20 +ve.
- CDX2 +ve (strong, diffuse).
- Beta-catenin -ve (negative nuclear staining, positive membranous staining).
- Colorectal adenocarcinoma typically has nuclear staining and membranous staining.
- Thrombomodulin +ve/-ve (~60% of cases).
- Colorectal adenocarcinoma -ve.
- Urothelial carcinoma +ve (~90% of cases).

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.
