[Micropapillary urothelial carcinoma of the urinary bladder: report of one case and review of the literature.].

In 1994 Amin et al. described an uncommon variant of urothelial carcinoma: the micropapillary carcinoma (MPC) .The MPC of the urinary bladder is rare, but has an aggressive clinical course. The optimal treatment strategy for this tumor appears to be early radical cystectomy. We report a case of MPC of the urinary bladder and review the literature.
