Urothelial carcinoma in situ, also known as high-grade (urothelial) dysplasia, a non-invasive urothelial neoplasm without papillae.
It is also known as carcinoma in situ, abbreviated CIS. Urothelial carcinoma in situ may be abbreviated UCIS.
General
- Lack papillae.
Microscopic
Features:
- Nuclear changes key feature.
- Enlargement of nuclei (often 4-5x the size of stromal lymphocytes) -- diagnostic.[1]
- 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.[1]
- +/-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.[2]
DDx:
- Urothelial atypia of unknown significance - waffle diagnosis.
- Urothelial dysplasia.
- Urothelial carcinoma, invasive.

IHC
Features:[3]
- p53 +ve.
- Ki-67 high.
Benign urothelium vs. CIS:[4]
- CK20 +ve in deep cells (23/26 cases).
- Normal urothelium -- only the umbrella cells.
- Ki-67 ~50% of cells - deep and superficial.
- Normal ~10% of cells, confined to basal aspect.
