Article information
Objetivo: El carcinoma urotelial plasmocitoide es una variedad rara y agresiva de carcinoma vesical que histológicamentesimula un plasmocitoma y que puede ser confundido con una neoplasia hemolinfoide que afectesecundariamente a la vejiga urinaria. Hasta la fecha solo se han descrito casos aislados y series cortas de estavariante neoplásica.
Pacientes y Método: Se han encontrado un total de 7 casos de carcinoma urotelial con fenotipo plasmocitoidetotal o parcial entre un total de 720 casos consecutivos de carcinoma urotelial de alto grado.
Resultados: El 0,97% de los carcinomas vesicales uroteliales de alto grado analizados muestra morfología plasmocitoide.Todos los casos correspondieron a varones con edades comprendidas entre 58 y 75 años.Histológicamente, dos casos presentaban morfología plasmocitoide pura, mientras que en cinco de ellos el fenotipoplasmocitoide estaba combinado con áreas transicionales y/o glandulares convencionales. La inmunohistoquímicademostró en todos los casos el carácter epitelial de las áreas plasmocitoides. El comportamiento clínicofue agresivo en todos los casos, con metástasis a distancia en tres de ellos en el momento del diagnóstico y recurrenciaprecoz tras el tratamiento quimioterápico en cuatro.
Conclusiones: En nuestra experiencia, el carcinoma urotelial plasmocitoide de vejiga urinaria es muy poco frecuente,y puede presentarse de manera pura o asociado a áreas de carcinoma vesical convencional. Es convenientereconocer esta variedad histológica debido a las implicaciones que conlleva en el pronóstico de los pacientes.

Objective: Plasmacytoid urothelial carcinoma is a rare and aggressive variant of bladder cancer that mimicsplasmacytoma histologically and that can be confused with hemolymphoid neoplasms secondarily affecting theurinary bladder. Only single cases and short series have been described so far.
Patients and Methods: Seven cases of plasmacytoid urothelial carcinoma have been found among 720 highgrade urothelial carcinomas of the urinary bladder.
Results: In our series, 0.97% of high grade urothelial carcinomas of the urinary bladder show plasmacytoidphenotype. All the cases were smoking males between 58 and 75 years old. Histologically, two cases showed pureplasmacytoid features, while in the other five cases the plasmacytoid phenotype was mixed with conventional transitionalcell or glandular histologies. By immunohistochemistry, all the plasmacytoid areas showed fair epithelialdifferentiation. The clinical behaviour was aggressive in all the cases, with distant metastases at diagnosis in threecases and early tumor recurrence after chemotherapy in four of them.
Conclusions: In our experience, the plasmacytoid urothelial carcinoma of the urinary bladder is a rare tumorthat can also be detected in association with areas of conventional urothelial carcinoma. It is mandatory to recognizethis histological subtype due to the clinical and prognostic implications of this diagnosis.
