Urothelial dysplasia, also low-grade (urothelial) dysplasia, is a lesion of the urothelium in the ISUP/WHO 2004 classification.[1] It is precursor lesion to urothelial carcinoma that is less worrisome than urothelial carcinoma in situ.
General
The ISUP/WHO classification of flat urothelial lesions is:[1]
- Reactive urothelial atypia.
- Flat urothelial hyperplasia.
- Urothelial atypia of unknown significance.
- Urothelial dysplasia (low-grade dysplasia).
- Urothelial carcinoma in situ (high-grade dysplasia).
- Invasive urothelial carcinoma.
Microscopic
Features:[2]
- Mild nuclear enlargement (~3x a resting lymphocyte) and hyperchromasia.
- Slight disorganization of the architecture.
- Some maturation to the surface.
- Mitotic figures - occasional, none atypical.
