The urothelium lines the upper portion of the genitourinary tract, i.e. ureters, urinary bladder), and a bit of the lower part.
Normal histology
- Maturation (cuboidal at base - squamoid at surface).
- Surface cells called 'umbrella cells' (umbrella cells CK20+).
- Urothelium should be 4-5 cell layers thick.
- +/-Prominent nucleoli.
- Should NOT have papillary architecture -- if it does it is likely cancer!
- If it is 'papillary' -- it must have fibrovascular cores.
Extent of urothelium
- Ureters.
- Renal pelvis.
- Urinary bladder.
- Part of the urethra.
Urethra in males
- Pre-prostatic urethra - transitional epithelium.
- Prostatic urethra - transitional epithelium.
- Membranous urethra (from apex of prostate to bulb of penis (bulb of the corpus spongiosusm)) - pseudostratified columnar epithelium.
- Spongy urethra - pseudostratified columnar epithelium (proximal) & stratified squamous (distal).
Approach
Where to start
July 1st PGY-2:
- Urothelial carcinoma - essentially defined by increased nuclear size +/- irreg. nuclear contour.
- Nucleoli are common in urothelium.
- This can be confusing... prostate carcinoma has nucleoli.
- Mitosis - these are key if the nuclear enlargement is not present.[1]
- Cell-depleted urothelium, where the cells have shed-off--but a few remain, should raise suspicions to cancer.
- Thickness of the urothelium, otherwise, isn't very useful for diagnosing cancer.
- Nucleoli are common in urothelium.
- Round structures should make you think of papillae and prompt looking for fibrovascular cores.
- Fibrovascular cores = papillae... may be cancer!
A checklist-like approach
- Papillary structure - with fibrovascular cores?
- Nuclear pleomorphism?
- Yes - high grade (4-5x lymphocyte) --> Dx: high grade papillary urothelial carcinoma
- No - low grade or normal (2-3x lymphocyte) --> DDx: low grade papillary urothelial carcinoma, PUNLMP, papilloma
- Nuclear pleomorphism?
- Flat lesions?
- Nuclear pleomorphism?
- Maturation to surface?
- No --> Dx: sectioning artefact vs. flat UCC.
- Yes --> likely benign.
- Normal thickness?
- Normal is 4-5 cell layers.
- Nests of glandular cells
- Consider cystitis cystica, cystitis glandularis, cystitis cystica et glandularis, Brunn's nest, inverted papilloma.
- Inflammation?
- Michaelis-Gutman bodies?
Pitfalls:
- Urothelial carcinoma of the bladder may be confused with a paraganglioma of the bladder.
- Way to differentiate: paraganglioma = stippled chromatin, UCC = single nucleoli.
Note about terminology
- The bladder is rather unique in that "carcinoma" is a label used for things that are non-invasive.
- It has been suggested that many things that are called papillary urothelial carcinoma, would be better described as papillary intraurothelial neoplasia.[2]
- If the terminology in the urinary bladder were applied to the colon, we'd call all adenomas, i.e. pre-malignant lesions, carcinomas.
Overview in tables
General categorization
Urothelial lesions can broadly be divided into:
- Flat lesions.
- Lack papillae.
- Tend to be more aggressive.
- Papillary lesions.
- Must have true papillae.
- Very common.
- More often benign/indolent.
Flat urothelial lesions
Comparison urothelial changes - flat epithelium - benign/premalignant/cancerous:[3]
| Diagnosis | Nuclear enlargement (X stromal lymphocyte) |
Nucleoli | size var., shape | Polarity | Mitoses | Thickness | Inflammation | Other |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Normal | none (2x) | small | none, round | matures to surface | none/minimal | 4-5 cells | none | - |
| Reactive atypia | moderate, prominent (3x) | prominent | none, round | as normal | some, none atypical | as normal | severe, acute or chronic | - |
| Flat urothelial hyperplasia | none (2x) | small | none, round | as normal | as normal | increased | usu. none | - |
| Urothelial dysplasia | moderate (3x) | small, some multiple | mod. variation, some irregularity | lost | rare, none atypical | as normal | usu. none | - |
| UCC in situ | signif. (4-5x) | +/-large | marked, irregular | lost | common, atypical | thin, thick or norm. | +/- | - |
| Invasive UCC | signif. (4-5X) | +/-large | marked, irregular | lost | common, atypical | thin, thick or norm. | +/- | stromal invasion |
The bold entry is considered the key feature.
Papillary urothelial lesions
Urothelial cells in papillae - benign/premalignant/cancerous:[4][5]
| Diagnosis | Papillae features | Papillae branching | Papillae fusion | Nuclear size | Mitoses | DDx | IHC | Other | Key feature |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Papilloma | fat papillae, thick FV core |
rare | none | normal (2x lymphocyte) | very rare basal | PUNLMP, low gr. PUCC | p53-, CK20+ umbrella cells | cytologically normal | normal cells, fat papillae |
| PUNLMP | slender FV core | uncommon | rare | enlarged - uniform | rare basal only | papilloma, low gr. | CK20+ umbrella | low cellular density (@ low power) vs. low gr.[6] | uniformly enlarged cell pop., slender papillae |
| Low grade PUCC | slender FV core, thick epithelium |
frequent | some | enlarged with variation | infreq., usually basal | PUNLMP, high gr. | -/+ p53, CK20+ umbrella | +/- small nucleoli | nuc. pleomorphism, thick epithelium |
| High grade PUCC | mixed population | common | common | 4-5x lymphocyte, marked pleomorphism |
common, everywhere | low gr., invasive UCC | diffuse CK20+, p53+ in 50% | nucleoli prominent | marked nuclear pleomorphism |
Notes:
- FV core = fibrovascular core.
- PUCC = papillary urothelial carcinoma.
Risk factors for urothelial carcinoma
Others:
- Lynch syndrome.
- Should be considered in ureteral cancers.[9]
Flat urothelial lesions
Overview
Several different benign & pre-malignant diagnoses can be made:
- Reactive atypia.
- Flat urothelial hyperplasia.
- Urothelial dysplasia.
- Urothelial carcinoma in situ.
- Invasive urothelial carcinoma.
Urothelial carcinoma in situ
- Abbreviated CIS.
General
- Lack papillae.
Microscopic
Features:
- Nuclear changes key feature.
- Enlargement of nuclei (often 4-5x the size of stromal lymphocytes) -- diagnostic.[10]
- Normal urothelium approx. 2x the size of stromal lymphocytes.
- Nuclear pleomorphism - marked variation in size of nuclei.
- Enlargement of nuclei (often 4-5x the size of stromal lymphocytes) -- diagnostic.[10]
- +/-Disordered arrangement/crowding of cells.
- In normal urothelium the cell line-up on the basement membrane.
- Umbrella cells often absent.
- +/-Mitoses present.
- +/-Enlarged nucleoli.
Note:
- The urothelium may be "depleted", i.e. exist only of rare large cells on the basement membrane.
- This is known as clinging urothelial carcinoma in situ.[11]

URINARY BLADDER LESION ("TUMOUR"), TRANSURETHRAL RESECTION URINARY BLADDER TUMOUR (TURBT):
- UROTHELIAL CARCINOMA IN SITU.
- MUSCULARIS PROPRIA PRESENT.
Urothelial cell carcinoma
- See urine cytology for the cytopathology.
- Abbreviated UCC.
- AKA urothelial carcinoma.
General
- These lesions lack papillae and are typical flat.
- Clinically, it may not be possible to differentiate renal pelvis urothelial carcinoma and renal cell carcinoma.
Microscopic
Features:
- Nuclear pleomorphism - key feature.
- Compare nuclei to one another.
- Increased N/C ratio.

- Stromal reaction (hypercellularity).
- Retraction artefact around the tumour cell nests.
Note:
- The presence/absence of muscle should be commented on in biopsy specimens.
- Adipose tissue may be seen in the lamina propria; tumour adjacent to adipose tissue on a biopsy does not imply invasion deep to the muscularis propria.[13]
Staging
- T1 - lamina propria.
- Several subdivisions of T1 exist:
- T1a - superficial or in muscularis mucosae.
- T1b - beyond muscularis mucosae - into submucosa.
- Several subdivisions of T1 exist:
- T2 - muscularis propria.
Subtypes
There are numerous subtypes:[14]
- Squamous differentiation.
- Clear cell.
- Plasmacytoid.
- Micropapillary.
- Small nests (< ~10 cells/nest).
- Sarcomatoid.
- Many others...

- LYMPHOVASCULAR INVASION PRESENT.
Papillary urothelial lesions
Papillary urothelial lesions are grouped into one of five categories (listed from good to bad prognosis):[5]
- Urothelial papilloma.
- Inverted papilloma.
- Papillary urothelial neoplasm of low malignant potential (PUNLMP).
- PUNLMP is pronouced "pun-lump".
- Low grade papillary urothelial carcinoma.
- High grade papillary urothelial carcinoma.
Key characteristics:
- Nuclear - size/pleomorphism.
- Papillae branching.
- Papillae fusion.
Urothelial papilloma
General
- Very rare diagnosed.
- If the person has a history of a low grade papillary urothelial carcinoma... it is a low grade papillary urothelial carcinoma.
- These cases are a consensus diagnosis, i.e. you show it to a colleague... if they agree you can call it.
Microscopic
Features:[5]
- Papillary fronds.
- Minimal branching or fusion.
- Cytological features of normal urothelium.
- Normal urothelium approx. 2x the size of stromal lymphocytes.[10]
- No mitoses.

DDx:
Inverted urothelial papilloma
General
- May be confused with papillary urothelial carcinoma with an inverted growth pattern.
Microscopic
Features:
- Like papillomas... but grow downward.[5]
- According to THvdK,[19] inverted papillomas never have an exophytic component; if an exophytic component is present it is urothelial carcinoma. This is disputed by one paper from Mexico that examines two cases.[20]
- Nests have peripheral palisading of nuclei - important.
DDx:
- Low grade papillary urothelial carcinoma with an inverted growth pattern.
