Atypical squamous cells present, see comment. | |||
Benign urothelial cells present in background. | |||
Negative for High-Grade Urothelial Carcinoma. | |||
Comment: | |||
Due to the atypical squamous cells, consideration of further work-up is suggested within the clinical context, based on reported associations.[1] | |||
