Inverted urothelial papilloma
Diagnosis in short

Inverted urothelial papilloma. H&E stain.

LM like papillomas... but grow downward; never have an exophytic component; nests have peripheral palisading of nuclei - important
LM DDx low grade papillary urothelial carcinoma with an inverted growth pattern
IHC Ki-67 -ve, CK20 -ve, p53 -ve (rarely +ve)
Site urothelium - usu. urinary bladder

Prevalence uncommon
Prognosis benign

Inverted urothelial papilloma, also inverted papilloma, is a benign urothelial lesion that may be confused with urothelial carcinoma.

General

  • May be confused with papillary urothelial carcinoma with an inverted growth pattern.

Microscopic

Features:

  • Like papillomas... but grow downward.[1]
  • According to THvdK,[2] inverted papillomas never have an exophytic component; if an exophytic component is present it is urothelial carcinoma. This is disputed by one paper from Mexico that examines two cases.[3]
  • Nests have peripheral palisading of nuclei - important.

IHC

May be useful versus inverted growth pattern UCC:[4]

  • Ki-67 -ve.
  • CK20 -ve.
  • p53 -ve (rarely +ve).
