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.
