Invasive Urothelial Carcinoma of the Bladder with Inverted Growth Pattern: A Case Report

Abstract

Most urothelial neoplasms of the bladder present in an exophytic papillary form, but some present in an inverted growth form, in which case the invasive feature can be difficult to identify. We present a case of invasive urothelial carcinoma of the bladder associated with an inverted growth pattern, in which the patient underwent total cystoprostatectomy with ilio-obturator lymph node dissection and a Briker-type urinary diversion.
