Papillary urothelial hyperplasia, abbreviated PUH, is a benign lesion of the urothelium that is associated with the subsequent development of low-grade papillary urothelial carcinoma.

General

  • Benign.
  • Strong association with papillary neoplasms.
    • On follow-up (in one study) >1/4, without prior history of urothelial neoplasia, have urothelial carcinoma; thus, follow-up is recommended.[1]

Microscopic

Features:[2]

  • Inflammation.
  • Papillary structures without well-developed fibrovascular cores.
    • Tent-like appearance or spike-like appearance - short/stubby papillae not longer than the urothelium is thick.[3]
  • No urothelial cell atypia.

URINARY BLADDER, BIOPSY:
- REACTIVE PAPILLARY HYPERPLASIA, SEE COMMENT.
- NO MUSCULARIS PROPRIA IDENTIFIED.
- CYSTITIS CYSTICA ET GLANDULARIS.
- NO EVIDENCE OF MALIGNANCY.

COMMENT:
The urothelial forms rare papillary structures; these are interpreted as reactive.

The urothelium stains as follow:
CK7: positive, patchy (normal).
CK20: only rare superficial cells (normal).
Ki-67: rare, focally increased, negative in papillary structures (<10%).
p53: negative (weak focal <20%), very rare weak in rare papillary structures (<5%).

Follow-up is recommended.
