'''Papillary urothelial neoplasm of low malignant potential''', abbreviated '''PUNLMP''', is an uncommon [[urothelium|urothelial]] lesion that is similar to [[low-grade papillary urothelial carcinoma]].
 
'''PUNLMP''' is pronounced ''pun-lump''.

<pre>
Urinary Bladder Tumour, Transurethral Resection:
    - Papillary urothelial neoplasm of low malignant potential (PUNLMP).
</pre>
 
===Micro===
The sections show a papillary urothelial lesion with minimal anisonucleosis. The papillae are predominantly slender and branch. Minimal proliferative activity is present. The lesion is well demarcated in relation to the subepithelial tissue.
 
====Alternate====
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.
 
===Inverted pattern predominant===
<pre>
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.
