Overview

NCI Definition: A rare adenocarcinoma arising from metaplastic bladder epithelium. It is frequently associated with long-standing local irritation. The majority of cases originate from the trigone and the posterior wall of the bladder. [1]

Bladder adenocarcinomas most frequently harbor alterations in TP53, SMAD4, PIK3CA, RB1, and KRAS [2].

Most Commonly Altered Genes in Bladder Adenocarcinoma

TP53 Mutation, TP53 c.217-c.1178 Missense, TP53 Missense, TP53 Exon 7 Mutation, and PIK3CA Mutation are the most common alterations in bladder adenocarcinoma [2].
