Mesonephroid adenocarcinoma arising from mesonephroid metaplasia of the urinary bladder.
We present a rare case of mesonephroid adenocarcinoma arising from mesonephroid metaplasia of the urinary bladder. For the first time, the unique histopathologic features in this patient provide evidence for the theory that vesical mesonephroid adenocarcinoma might be a highly aggressive metaplastic variant of urothelial carcinoma that should be treated accordingly.
