a-d A 78 y/o male, with a polypoid lesion in posterolateral face of bladder, diagnosed as a urothelial carcinoma. a. T2-weigthed image in axial plane showing the lesion (*) protruding to bladder lumen. Apparently, there is discontinuity of low signal of muscle layer (arrow) suggesting invasion. In b, in this ADC map, it is possible to see the low signal of muscle layer (white arrows) and in c in DCE, arterial phase, there is enhancement of the inner layer (white arrow), without involvement of muscle layer, which is seen low signal, at this time (arrowhead); d. Hematoxilin- Eosin (H&E, 100x). The urothelial lesion (white arrows) is seen away from the muscular propria (star) of the bladder, which is clearly spared. A high-grade urothelial lesion, without muscle involvement, was confirmed after TURBT
