“…This patient was also diagnosed as having disseminated carcinomatosis of the bone marrow (CBM), which is characterized by widespread bone metastasis from solid tumors with coexistent hematologic disorders [ 6 ]. CBM is most frequently seen as a complication of gastric cancer, and only one case has been reported with urothelial carcinoma [ 7 ]. Despite the multidisciplinary treatment, the prognosis of CBM is quite poor (less than 1 year of life expectancy).…”

Plasmacytoid urothelial carcinoma (PUC) of the bladder is a rare variant of invasive urothelial carcinoma (UC) with aggressive behavior. Despite its prognosis being poorer than that of conventional UC, a median overall survival of approximately 2 years is ensured when it is treated with radical cystectomy (RC), and few patients die within a few months of RC. In this paper, we report the case of a patient with PUC who developed widespread bone metastasis only 6 weeks after RC, which resulted in death within 2 months postoperatively.
