Diagnosis: Urothelial carcinoma. Comment: Favoring the diagnosis of
urothelial carcinoma is the marked pleomorphism, presence of mitoses,
tendency
of growth in nests, and a prominent squamous differentiation. As for
immunohistochemistry, PSA can be used as the first screening marker for
differentiating high-grade prostate adenocarcinoma from high-grade
urothelial
carcinoma (Chuang AY et al. Immunohistochemical differentiation of
high-grade
prostate carcinoma from urothelial carcinoma. Am J Surg Pathol
2007;31:1246-55).
