===Muscularis propria invasion===
===Muscularis propria invasion===
The presence or absence of muscularis propria invasion is a '''very important''' determination, as the clinical management changes between T1 and T2:
{{Main|Muscularis propria invasion in the urinary bladder}}
*T1: usually conservative treatment (local excision).
*T2: radical treatment (cystectomy or cystoprostatectomy).
 
A thin layer of discontinous muscularis mucuosae (MM) is present and, especially if hypertrophic, may be confused with muscuaris propria (MP).
 
====Comparing MM and MP====
A comparison between muscularis propria and muscularis mucosae - adapted from Paner ''et al.'':<ref name=pmid17721199>{{Cite journal  | last1 = Paner | first1 = GP. | last2 = Ro | first2 = JY. | last3 = Wojcik | first3 = EM. | last4 = Venkataraman | first4 = G. | last5 = Datta | first5 = MW. | last6 = Amin | first6 = MB. | title = Further characterization of the muscle layers and lamina propria of the urinary bladder by systematic histologic mapping: implications for pathologic staging of invasive urothelial carcinoma. | journal = Am J Surg Pathol | volume = 31 | issue = 9 | pages = 1420-9 | month = Sep | year = 2007 | doi = 10.1097/PAS.0b013e3180588283 | PMID = 17721199 }}</ref>

Notes:
*† The lamina propria thickness varies with location. It is thinnest in the trigone (0.5-1.6 mm) and thickest in the dome (1.0-3.1 mm).
*‡ Small is defined as <4 muscle fibres; large >= 4 muscle fibres.
**The presence of hyperplastic bundles ranges from ~20% in the trigone to ~70% in the dome.

====Rational assessment of muscularis propria invasion====
To call muscularis propria invasion:
#Definite tumour must be between muscle.
#Muscle bundles must be thick.
#Multiple bundles must be adjacent to one another.
#Should '''not''' be superficial - surface epithelium if present should be distant.

High grade urothelial carcinoma in a 43 year old man. A. At low power, necrosis is seen, luminal, with viable invasive tumor elsewhere. B. Tumor partly fills right ureteral orifice. C.  Tumor cells sometimes form Indian files (black arrows), appear to have nuclei that mold (red arrows), and have granular chromatin (cyan arrows), raising possibility of neuroendocrine carcinoma. D. Tumor invades lymphatic spaces. E. Urothelial carcinoma in situ is present. F,G,H.  Tumor cells are diffusely positive for CK7, focally positive for CDX2, and diffusely positive for P40, with no positivity for chromogranin or synaptophysin.
