Multiparametric MRI Features of Plasmacytoid Urothelial Carcinoma of the Urinary Bladder
PUC demonstrates notable mpMRI features, including localized or diffuse wall thickening (often with a linitis plastica-like appearance), muscle-invasive and advanced disease, progressive and prolonged enhancement patterns, and mild hyperintensity or isointensity on high b-value DWI. These features, which are potentially linked to the myxoid stromal composition of the tumor, suggest that mpMRI may serve as a noninvasive diagnostic tool for this aggressive malignancy. However, further studies with larger cohorts are required to confirm these findings.
