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.

Micro
The sections show urothelial mucosa with a tumour with fibrovascular cores. The nuclei are of uniform size (2-3 times a resting lymphocytes). Rare foci of degenerative cells are seen. The papillary structures are thick and appear to compress the lamina propria. Rare mitotic figures are identified. No atypical mitoses are apparent. No lamina propria invasion is identified. No muscularis propria is identified.
