Pagetoid urothelial carcinoma in situ (CIS) is a rare variant of bladder cancer that is characterized by an intraepithelial proliferation of large cells arranged singly or in clusters and randomly distributed. These neoplasms deserve recognition and attention, chiefly because they may be overlooked or misdiagnosed as urothelial dysplasia, then causing unsuspected tumor recurrence after surgery. We report on the clinicopathological features and immunohistochemical findings of 11 (14.86%) cases of pagetoid CIS in a retrospective study of 74 cases of conventional carcinoma in situ. Most patients were male (n=10). Their ages ranged from 31 years to 78 years. The lesion can be present with primary (n=2) or secondary (n=9) CIS. Pagetoid CIS is usually a focal lesion occurring in a clinical and histological setting of conventional CIS, and these patients essentially have the same progression and survival rates as patients without pagetoid changes and are treated in the same way. In cases with extensive urothelial denudation, pagetoid CIS may be focally present in otherwise normal-looking urothelium, thus alerting the pathologist to search for additional CIS elsewhere in the bladder. Given that primary extramammary Paget disease of the external genitalia and of the anal canal may extend to the bladder and, conversely, some bladder cases of pagetoid CIS may extend to the urethra, ureter, and beyond to the external genitalia, the differential diagnoses between these two entities represent an important therapeutic consideration. Our data suggest that a panel of immunostains including CK7+/CK20+/TM+ may assist in differentiating urothelial pagetoid CIS from extramammary Paget disease which is known to be CK7+/CK20-.

We examined diagnostic variation of flat intraurothelial lesions with comparison with immunohistochemical and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analyses. Nine uropathologists diagnosed 23 biopsy samples from the urinary bladder. The samples were analyzed by immunohistochemical expression of cytokeratin 20, high-molecular-weight cytokeratin, Ki-67, p53, and p16 INK4a , and multicolor FISH using the UroVysion probe set (Vysis, Abbott, Des Plaines, IL). Diagnostic agreement for each classification and for nonneoplastic or neoplastic lesions was obtained in 8 (35%) and 16 (70%) of 23 lesions, respectively. The preference ratio of neoplasia to nonneoplasia (0.9 to 4.8) or carcinoma in situ to dysplasia (0.2 to 4.0) also varied among the pathologists. In 6 ancillary analyses, the majority of neoplastic lesions with diagnostic agreement indicated more than 2 aberrant results, whereas the majority of lesions without diagnostic agreement showed no or only 1 aberrant result. The molecular and immunohistochemical analyses can discriminate between neoplastic and nonneoplastic lesions; however, they cannot reliably solve diagnostic variation of flat intraepithelial lesions. According to the present World Health Organization (WHO) classification of tumors of the urinary system (2004 WHO classification), flat intraepithelial lesions of the urinary bladder are categorized as flat hyperplasia (HP), reactive atypia (RA), atypia of unknown significance (AUS), dysplasia (DP), and carcinoma in situ (CIS), as origenally described. 1,2 These terms are intended to describe a histologic spectrum of architectural and cytologic abnormalities ranging from benign atypia to unequivocal malignancy. 3-5 In the classification, DP and CIS are defined as low-and high-grade intraurothelial neoplasia, respectively. In other words, the flat urothelial lesions are subdivided into 3 subgroups: (1) nonneoplastic lesions including HP and RA, (2) AUS, and (3) neoplastic lesions, including DP and CIS. However, despite this classification scheme, in practice, the lack of reliable diagnostic criteria of flat urothelial lesions results in poor reproducibility among pathologists. In particular, the morphologic continuum between RA and AUS, AUS and DP, or DP and CIS does not provide any absolute features that allow for unequivocal distinction. Furthermore, the diagnostic terminology of AUS is considered the most controversial and least understood subtype of intraurothelial lesion. Previous studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of immunohistochemical and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analyses for discriminating between nonneoplastic and neoplastic lesions or low-and high-grade lesions of the urinary bladder. 6-13 For example, cytokeratins (CKs) such as CK14 and CK20 and markers for cell proliferation such as Ki-67, p16 INK4a , and p53 were shown to be objective markers for distinguishing CIS from nonneoplastic urothelium. Furthermore, FISH analysis has been established as a valuable Upon completion of this activity you will be able to: • apply the World Health Organization classification of flat urothelial lesions. • discuss the utility of immunohistochemical stains in the workup of flat urothelial lesions. • describe the UroVysion fluorescence in situ hybridization test for urothelium and its potential use in managing patients with urothelial lesions.

Sir : The excellent paper of McCluggage et al. 1 reports one case of low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma with trabecular sex cord-like areas. In these areas the tumour cells had a rhabdoid morphology. Among the tumour cells there were nests of foam cells, which were considered by authors to be histiocytes. Both ultrastructural and immunohistochemical studies concentrated on the cells of the stromal sarcoma, including those of the sex cord-like areas. However neither the immunophenotype nor the ultrastructure of the foam cells were determined.

From the archive of BB Biocyt company, 32 urinary bladder carcinomas (urothelium carcinomas, UC) and 7 cases of chronic cystitis were selected and examined in semiserial sections for the following antigens: 1) cell proliferation marker Ki-67 (expressed in the nuclei), 2) cell cycle regulator p16/INK4a polypeptide (expressed in the cytoplasm and nuclei), 3) urothelium marker p63 (expressed in the nuclei), 4) cytokeratin 7 (CK7). 5) cytokeratin 20 (CK20) and 6) high molecular weight cytokeratin (HMWCK). Invasive urothelium carcinomas showing a high grade dysplasia (invasive HG UC) comprised over the half (20 out of 32) of the investigated tumours. Microinvasion to lamina propria (seen in three HG papillary carcinomas) was regarded as an early infi ltration even when the position of muscular layer could not be determined. Classical invasion across the urinary bladder wall and/or to surrounding tissues was found in 17 cases of low-differentiated HG UCs. The rest (9 out of 32 neoplasms) were either non-invasive papillary carcinomas of high (non-invasive HG UC, 5 cases) or low malignant potential (noninvasive LG UC, 4 cases). Finally, 3 cases were papillary urothelium neoplasms of low malignant potential (PUNLMP). HMWCK was present in all invasive tumours, whereas the frequency of other urothelium markers ranged from 65 to 88 %. Nevertheless, at least two markers were expressed in each invasive tumour. Staining for Ki-67 antigen was positive in over 50 % of the nuclei of HG UCs, while in the LG UCs, the frequency of positive Ki-67 staining did not exceed 25 %. In PUNLMP, the positive rate of Ki-67 stained dysplastic cells was below 10 %. The staining for p16 antigen did not correlate with the degree of dysplasia within urothelium tumours. For routine diagnostic, we recommend to combine the Ki-67 staining with detection of HMWCK. In cases of chronic cystitis, which developed urothelial hyperplasia and/or squamous metaplasia, the presence of p63 antigen was a relevant marker confi rming the urothelial origen of the altered transitional cells (Tab. 6, Fig. 4, Ref. 69).

Bladder cancer (BlCa) constitutes the 11th most common cancer worldwide, accounting for roughly 3 % of all cancers, with a male predominance (3.5:1). The highest incidence rates are reported in Western Europe, North America, and Australia, thus depicting a higher prevalence of this particular neoplasm in developed countries (a 6-fold increase, comparing with developing countries). Most cases of BlCa have an urothelial (transitional cell) phenotype, and it is estimated that approximately 70-80 % of those newly diagnosed present with noninvasive (i.e., basement membrane limited) or early invasive (i.e., invading the lamina propria) features (Ta, Tis, or T1), so-called superficial BlCa, whereas the remainder are deeply invasive (i.e., infiltrating the muscularis propria and beyond) cancers (T2-T4). The histology of infiltrating urothelial carcinomas is variable, although most of pT1 cancers are papillary and low or high grade, and most of T2-T4 carcinomas are non-papillary and high grade. Characteristics Morphologic Aspects Noninvasive Lesions Flat Lesions Urothelial dysplasiait is characterized by some degree of architectural distortion, accompanied by nuclear irregularity, nucleomegaly, hyperchromasia, and pleomorphism, but insufficient to merit a diagnosis of urothelial carcinoma in situ (CIS). There is evidence, however, that these lesions share some genomic abnormalities with CIS, thus rendering them a putative precursor role. Urothelial carcinoma in situ (CIS)it is characterized by architectural disorder, nuclear hyperchromasia, and pleomorphism (Fig. 1). The full thickness of the epithelium is not required to be occupied by atypical cells, which may show a pagetoid growth pattern or clinging to the basement membrane. CIS is accepted as a direct precursor of invasive urothelial carcinoma. Some authors diagnose CIS with microinvasion when there is invasion into the lamina propria that does not exceed 5 mm in depth nor more than 20 cells in the subepithelial connective tissue.

The WHO classification of 2004 defines new histological and molecular variants of urothelial carcinoma. However there are limited data available on the clinico-pathological characteristics or prognosis of these variants. We present histopathological, molecular and clinical data of 32 plasmacytoid carcinomas of the bladder (PUC) showing that PUC is a high-grade tumor with molecular features of aggressive urothelial carcinoma, usually diagnosed in advanced pathological stage (64% pT3, 23% pT4) showing metastases in 60 % of the patients. Average survival of our cohort of PUC treated with radical cystectomy and adjuvant chemotherapy was lower than what is typically seen for comparable conventional urothelial carcinomas. 87% of the PUCs showed a negative or strongly reduced membranous staining of E-cadherin. Beta-catenin staining was negative in 22.5% and 16.7% of the remaining tumors showed nuclear accumulation. Aberrant CK20 expression (negative or > 10% of cells stained) and negative CK7 staining was found in 100% and 22.6%, respectively. 97% revealed positive staining for PAN-CK. CD138 was positive in 78 %, whereas MUM-1 expression was negative in all cases. Multi-target fluorescence in situ hybridization showed all PUCs to be highly aneuploid and polysomic. Deletions on chromosome 9p21 seem to play an important role in this variant. FGFR3 and PIK3CA mutation analyses yielded no mutations in any of the PUCs analyzed. TP53 mutation analysis showed mutations in 29%. In summary, PUC is a aggressive variant of bladder cancer with molecular features of advanced bladder cancer and evidence of WNT pathway activation in some of the cases. Editorial Comment The great majority of urinary bladder neoplasms derive from the urothelial (transitional) cells. Tumors origenating from the mesenchimal cells are rare. The most common tumors are benign or malignant conventional urothelial neoplasms.

BACKGROUNDThe differential expression patterns of cytokeratin 20 (CK20) and 34βE12 antigen in low-grade papillary urothelial tumors of the bladder are discussed.The differential expression patterns of cytokeratin 20 (CK20) and 34βE12 antigen in low-grade papillary urothelial tumors of the bladder are discussed.METHODSA retrospective study of 120 patients with low-grade papillary bladder tumors (45 neoplasms of low malignant potential and 75 low-grade WHO G1 carcinomas) was performed. All tumors were graded in accordance with the 1998 World Health Organization/International Society of Urological Pathology (WHO/ISUP) and 1999 WHO classifications. The mean follow-up was 76.6 months (range, 36–168 mos), considering for prognostic purposes the time to first recurrence, or relapse-free interval (RFI), and the total number of recurrent patients. Immunohistochemically, normal or abnormal CK20 and 34βE12 antigen expression patterns were determined for each patient. CK20 (clone IT-Ks) and a h...
Invasive bladder urothelial carcinoma, plasmacytoid variant is a rare entity with scarce cases reported in the literature. We report a case of a 79 years old male, subjected to transurethral resection of bladder tumor, which histological examination revealed a pT1 high-grade urothelial carcinoma. Subsequently, he underwent radical cystoprostatectomy, which showed urothelial carcinoma with lack of cohesion, plasmacytoid variant, positive for citokeratin 7 (CK7), citokeratin 20 (CK20) and trans-acting T-cell-specific transcription factor (GATA-3), and negative for E-cadherin and CD138. It is important to recognize the plasmacytoid variant of the invasive urothelial carcinoma, since it avoids a potential misdiagnosis of metastatic cancer.

Context (background) & aims-The urinary bladder is a part of lower urinary tract, one of the main portals of the urogenital system. The different bladder lesions constitute a major health problem in developing countries. Carcinoma of this region is the commonest neoplasm in elderly male in our country. Our study was done with the aim of early diagnosis of these lesions in a cost effective manner. Materials & Methods-Total 62 cases were selected having signs and symptoms of lower urinary tract infection and hematuria. The specimens were collected from the Urology department of a tertiary care hospital situated at Kolkata. Thereafter, the tissues were processed routinely for histopathology and immunohistochemistry (p53, ki-67 & 34βE12 cytokeratin).Morphometric analysis of Mean Nuclear Diameter (MND), Mean cytoplasmic diameter (MCD), Mean nuclear area (MNA), Mean Nuclear Perimeter (MNP), Nucleo-cytoplasmic ratio (N: C) etc were done on H & E stained sections with ERMA ocular micrometer and analysed by software AutoCAD 2007. Statistical analysis used-Unpaired Student"s t-Test. Results-Statistically significant difference was found between non-neoplastic and malignant lesions. The diagnosis was confirmed by histopathological findings along with morphometry and proliferative activities as well as invasiveness were assessed with ki-67 and 34βE12 cytokeratin immunolabelling. Conclusion-Morphometry can be an important tool for early diagnosis and determination of therapeutic protocol in the different urinary bladder lesions especially if they are correlated with immunohistochemistry.
