| Urothelial dysplasia | |
|---|---|
| Diagnosis in short | |
|
| |
| Synonyms | low-grade urothelial dysplasia |
|
| |
| LM | mild nuclear enlargement (~3x a resting lymphocyte) and hyperchromasia, mild disorganization of the architecture (some maturation), occasional mitotic figures - none atypical |
| LM DDx | reactive changes, urothelial carcinoma in situ |
| IHC | CK20 +ve/-ve (esp. non-umbrella cells), Ki-67 +ve/-ve (>10%), p53 +ve/-ve (>20%) |
| Site | urothelium (renal pelvis, urinary bladder, ureters, urethra) |
|

| Prevalence | common |
| Prognosis | pre-malignant |
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 (also known as high-grade (urothelial) dysplasia).
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 - important.
- Mitotic figures - occasional, none atypical.
Notes:
- It is probably not a good idea to make this diagnosis without immunohistochemistry.
- This diagnosis not made on frozen section.
DDx:
- Benign urothelium with reactive changes.
- Urothelial carcinoma in situ - no maturation to the surface.

IHC
A comparison between benign, dysplasia and UCIS:[3]
| Diagnosis | CK20 | Ki-67 | p53 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Benign (reactive) | umbrella cells +ve only | -ve <=10% of cells (+/-rare basal cells) | -ve <20% of cells (+/-weak staining) |
| Urothelial dysplasia | +ve non-umbrella cells +ve (~30% of cases) | +ve >10% of cells (~40% of cases) | +ve >=20% of cells (~70% of cases) |
| Urothelial carcinoma in situ (UCIS | +ve non-umbrella cells (~70% of cases) | +ve >10% of cells (~95% of cases) | +ve >=20% of cells (~80% of cases) |

A. RIGHT URETER (MARGIN), EXCISION: - UROTHELIAL DYSPLASIA, SEE COMMENT. - NEGATIVE FOR UROTHELIAL CARCINOMA. COMMENT: There is focal non-umbrella cell CK20 staining, 10% (focal) urothelial p53 staining, and 30% (focal) urothelial Ki-67 staining. The findings are that of (low-grade) urothelial dysplasia.
