Papillary urothelial neoplasm of low malignant potential, abbreviated PUNLMP, is an uncommon urothelial lesion that is similar to low-grade papillary urothelial carcinoma.
PUNLMP is pronounced pun-lump.
Inverted urothelial neoplasm of low malignant potential (abbreviated IUNLMP) redirects here.
General
- Uncommon: prevalence ~ 0-3.5%.[1]
- PUNLMP vs. low grade papillary urothelial carcinoma has a poor inter-rater reliability.[2]
Treatment:
- Excision and on-going follow-up - like non-invasive low grade papillary urothelial carcinoma (LGPUC).[3]
Microscopic
Features:[5]
- Rare fused papillae.
- Infrequent mitoses.
- Nuclei larger than papilloma - but monotonous.[6]
Note:
- May grow downward; known as PUNLMP with inverted growth[7] and inverted urothelial neoplasm of low malignant potential (abbreviated IUNLMP).[8]

Urinary Bladder Tumour, Transurethral Resection: - Inverted urothelial neoplasm of low malignant potential with an exophytic papillary component. Comment: This lesion is a variant of papillary urothelial neoplasm of low malignant potential (PUNLMP). Followup is required. The case was reviewed by a second GU pathologist.
Micro
The sections show a papillary urothelial lesion with monotonous nuclei and minimal atypia. The papillae are predominantly slender and branch. Mitotic figures are very rare. The lesion is well demarcated in relation to the subepithelial tissue.
