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.
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]
