Low-grade papillary urothelial carcinoma, abbreviated LGPUC,[1] is a very common indolent form of cancer that arises from the urothelium.
It is also known as low-grade papillary urothelial cell carcinoma, abbreviated LGPUCC.
General
- Very common.
- Very good prognosis - if it is non-invasive.
- Usually non-invasive.[2]
Note:
- Invasive low-grade UCC is:[2]
- ~75% nested variant of urothelial carcinoma.
- ~25: low-grade papillary urothelial carcinoma.
Gross
- Exophytic lesion.
- Frond-like appearance.
Microscopic
Features:[3]
- Papillae = fibrovascular cores covered by urothelium.
- Usually with fusion of papillae and branching of papillae.
- Small nuclei (~3x a resting lymphocyte).
- +/-Invasion into the lamina propria (rare).
- Rare mitoses.
- Usually difficult to find.
- Basal location.
Criteria for invasion (mnemonic PISS-R):[2]
- Stromal reaction.
- Infiltrating single cells.
- Small nests.
- Retraction artifact.
- Paradoxical differentiation.
Note:
- Nuclei slightly larger than in PUNLMPs.
- 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.[4]
DDx:
- PUNLMP.
- High grade papillary urothelial carcinoma.
- Often under-diagnosed (~15% in one series) when reassessed by experts.[5]
- The three most predictive features of high-grade are architectural complexity, nuclear size variation, and absence of umbrella cells.[6]
- Stanford criteria has a 5% rule -- if the high-grade component is <5% it is low-grade.[7]
- Inverted urothelial papilloma - often have peripheral palisading.
- Urothelial papilloma.
