There are no previous reports of solitary renal metastases from urothelial carcinoma with trophoblastic differentiation, a rare bladder cancer subtype that is pathologically hCGβ positive.
A 77-year-old male with urothelial carcinoma with trophoblastic differentiation underwent robot-assisted radical cystectomy following neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Pathological examination revealed urothelial carcinoma, classified as ypT2b and ypN0 with detection of focal hCGβ positivity. Postoperatively, serum hCGβ levels decreased from 1.6 to < 0.2 mIU/mL. At the 9-month follow-up, serum hCGβ was elevated to 20.1 mIU/mL with no recurrence on PET-CT. Gemcitabine-cisplatin chemotherapy was initiated; however, a solitary renal tumor was detected. Partial nephrectomy confirmed that the tumor was a renal metastasis of bladder cancer. Serum hCGβ levels decreased and remained < 0.2 mIU/mL, even 20 months after partial nephrectomy.
We report a case of urothelial carcinoma with trophoblastic differentiation and elevated serum hCGβ levels, in which a solitary renal metastasis was successfully resected by robot-assisted partial nephrectomy.
此前尚无关于具有滋养层分化的尿路上皮癌孤立性肾转移的报道,这是一种罕见的膀胱癌亚型,病理检查时人绒毛膜促性腺激素β(hCGβ)呈阳性。
一名患有具有滋养层分化的尿路上皮癌的77岁男性,在接受新辅助化疗后接受了机器人辅助根治性膀胱切除术。病理检查显示为尿路上皮癌,分类为ypT2b和ypN0,检测到局灶性hCGβ阳性。术后,血清hCGβ水平从1.6降至<0.2 mIU/mL。在9个月的随访中,血清hCGβ升高至20.1 mIU/mL,PET-CT检查未发现复发。开始使用吉西他滨-顺铂化疗;然而,检测到一个孤立性肾肿瘤。部分肾切除术证实该肿瘤为膀胱癌的肾转移。即使在部分肾切除术后20个月,血清hCGβ水平仍下降并保持<0.2 mIU/mL。
我们报告了一例具有滋养层分化且血清hCGβ水平升高的尿路上皮癌病例,其中通过机器人辅助部分肾切除术成功切除了孤立性肾转移灶。
