Article Synopsis
- Plasmacytoid urothelial carcinoma is a rare and aggressive form of bladder cancer, presented in a 75-year-old woman who had retroperitoneal spread of the disease.
- After first-line chemotherapy with gemcitabine and cisplatin failed, a circulating tumor cell test identified a cell positive for programmed death-ligand 1, leading to second-line treatment with pembrolizumab.
- Ultimately, despite treatment, the cancer progressed with severe infiltration in the retroperitoneum, and the patient passed away, highlighting the aggressive nature of this cancer variant.
