[Plasmacytoid urothelial carcinoma of the bladder with prostate cancer: report of two cases].
Plasmacytoid urothelial carcinoma (PUC) is a rare variant of urothelial carcinoma with aggressive clinicopathological behaviours. We experienced two cases of PUC of urinary bladder. Both cases were advanced cancer with extravesical invasion and lymph node metastases. They also had coexisting prostatic carcinoma, one was preoperatively diagnosed and the other was incidentally discovered after surgery. As these cases were the first report of PUC simultaneously associated with prostatic carcinoma, clinicopathological features and the treatment options were discussed.
