Context:
Malpingian carcinoma (MC) of the bladder is a rare entity. Although distant metastases are very rare it is, usually, diagnosed in the advanced stage, and most patients die.
Aims:
The aim was to reveal the characteristics of this tumor and discuss reasons explaining its particular biological behavior.
Settings And Design:
The pathologic and clinical characteristics, as well as treatment and outcome of six consecutive cases, were retrospectively studied.
Subjects And Methods:
Medical records of patients with bladder tumors who were treated in our hospital from 2004 onward were reviewed in order to identify those with MC of the bladder.
Results:
We identified found seven cases. Almost all had locally advanced disease. Three developed visceral metastases and died within few months from the time of diagnosis.
Conclusions:
Monitoring protocols required for the early control of local recurrence.
