Urothelial carcinoma with plasmocytoid component.
Plasmocytoid urothelial carcinoma is a rare subtype of tumour of the urinary bladder. Its clinical and histopathological features have not been well characterized. There are few reports of this type of tumour. We report a case of 65-year-old man who was operated in our department for bladder tumour. The pathological diagnosis was high-grade urothelial carcinoma with plasmocytoid component. The patient died shortly thereafter from liver and bone metastasis.
