High-grade papillary urothelial carcinoma, abbreviated HGPUC, is a common form of cancer that arises from the urothelium.
It is also known as high-grade papillary urothelial cell carcinoma, abbreviated HGPUCC.
General
- Aggressive.
- May be associated with Lynch syndrome.[1]
Gross
- Exophytic mass.
- Frond-like appearance.
- Friable.
Microscopic
Features:[2]
- "High grade nuclear features":
- Nuclear pleomorphism - often 4-5x the size of stromal lymphocytes.[3]
- Papillae with "architectural complexity":
- Fused papillae - common.
- Branching of papillae common.
- Mitoses - common.
- +/-Invasion into the lamina propria - relatively common.
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.[4]
DDx:
- Low grade papillary urothelial carcinoma.
- Prostate carcinoma with pseudopapillae[5] - see urothelial carcinoma-like prostatic carcinoma.
- Should be considered if a urethral tumour.
Images
HGPUC - low mag.
HGPUC - intermed. mag.
HGPUC - high mag.
HGPUC - high mag.
HGPUC - low mag.
HGPUC - intermed. mag.
HGPUC - high mag.
IHC
- Ki-67:
- p53 +ve - more common in pT2 than pT1 and HGPUC than LGPUC... but not useful to definitively separate.[9]
Molecular
Molecular changes:[10]
- p53.
- p21.
- RB.
- E-cadherin - decreased bad.
- RhoGD12 - increased bad.
- VEGF - increased bad.

Low-grade versus high-grade
URINARY BLADDER LESION ("TUMOUR"), TRANSURETHRAL RESECTION URINARY BLADDER TUMOUR (TURBT):
- HIGH-GRADE PAPILLARY UROTHELIAL CARCINOMA, SEE COMMENT.
- NEGATIVE FOR LAMINA PROPRIA INVASION.
- NO MUSCULARIS PROPRIA PRESENT.
COMMENT:
The sections show papillary branching, papillary fusion and scattered large cells (~4-5 a
resting lymphocyte). Atypical for a high-grade lesion is that mitotic activity is scarce
and prominent nucleoli are not present.
Micro
The sections show a small fragment of urothelial mucosa with two papillary structures, enlarged nuclei (~3-4x resting lymphocyte) and moderate nuclear size variation. Mitotic activity is seen focally. Umbrella cells are seen only focally.
A mild lymphocyte-predominant inflammatory infiltrate is present. The lamina propria contains a nest with smaller cells, cystic spaces and no appreciable mitoses (cystitis cystica).
