Micropapillary urothelial carcinoma (MCP) of the urinary bladder is an rare anatomopathology variant of aggressive behaviour. It is usually found as a high grade and stage carcinoma, and doesn't differ clinically from normal cell carcinoma of the bladder. Treatment should be early and aggressive, because radiotherapy and chemotherapy have shown limited results the therapy is surgically based. The diagnosis of this disease is required because its metastasic capacity is associate with a significantly increased mortality risk. In this study we report the case of a 64 years old man with a long development hematuria diagnosed of Micropapillary carcinoma infiltrating the bladder involving the ureter.

El carcinoma urotelial micropapilar (CMP) de vejiga es una variante anatomopatológica infrecuente, de comportamiento agresivo. Se presenta habitualmente como carcinoma de alto grado, en estadios avanzados, sin signos clínicos distintos al del carcinoma vesical convencional. El tratamiento debe ser precoz y agresivo, fundamentalmente quirúrgico, dado que la radioterapia y la quimioterapia no han demostrado utilidad hasta el momento. Es necesario el reconocimiento de esta entidad pues su capacidad metastásica está asociada a una alta incidencia de mortalidad. Presentamos el caso de un varón de 64 años con hematuria de larga evolución diagnosticado de carcinoma micropapilar infiltrante de vejiga con compromiso de uréter(AU)
