Plasmacytoid urothelial carcinoma: a rapid autopsy case report with unique clinicopathologic and genomic profile.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:Rapid ("warm") autopsies of patients with advanced metastatic cancer provide important insight into the natural history, pathobiology and histomorphology of disease in treatment-resistant tumors. Plasmacytoid urothelial carcinoma (PUC) is a rare variant of urothelial carcinoma characterized by neoplastic cells morphologically resembling plasma cells. PUC is typically aggressive, high-stage at presentation, and associated with poor outcomes. Recurrence is common in PUC, with the majority of recurrences occurring in the peritoneum. CASE PRESENTATION:Here, we report rapid autopsy findings from a patient with recurrent PUC. The patient had persistent pain after cystoprostatectomy, although initial post-operative imaging showed no evidence of disease. Imaging obtained shortly before his death showed only subtle growth along vascular tissue planes; however, extensive disease was seen on autopsy. Plasmacytoid tumor cells formed sheets involving many serosal surfaces. Molecular interrogation confirmed a mutation in CDH1 exon 12 leading to early truncation of the CDH1 protein in the tumor cells. CONCLUSIONS:The sheet-like growth pattern of PUC makes early phases of disease spread much more difficult to capture on cross-sectional imaging. Alternative forms of surveillance may be required for detection of recurrent PUC, and providers may need to treat based on symptoms and clinical suspicion.
