观察p63标记的目的有二个,1)基底细胞是否存在;2)尿路上皮分化?
本病例主要鉴别诊断为:前列腺腺癌浸润 VS 伴有腺泡/小管分化的尿路上皮癌。

We report a case of an 83-year-old man with a high-grade carcinoma of the urinary bladder who underwent cystoprostatectomy. The invasive carcinoma showed mixed, morphologically distinct patterns consisting of conventional high-grade urothelial carcinoma, glandular differentiation resembling enteric type adenocarcinoma, and acinar/tubular type differentiation, morphologically similar to Gleason grade 3 prostatic adenocarcinoma.Immunohistochemical studies revealed the acinar/tubular component of the tumor to be negative for prostate-specific antigen (PSA-) and prostatic acid phosphatase(PAP-), but positive for cytokeratin 7(CK7+), cytokeratin 20(CK20+), high molecular weight cytokeratin (34 beta E12+), and thrombomodulin, consistent with origin from the bladder rather than the prostate. Although bladder carcinomas composed of mixed morphologic patterns are not uncommon, to our knowledge, the presence of acinar/tubular type features simulating prostatic adenocarcinoma in such tumors has not been described elsewhere.
