*The urothelium may be "depleted", i.e. exist only of rare large cells on the basement membrane.
The sections show small fragments of urothelial mucosa with enlarged benign superficial epithelial cells. The lamina propria has a mild lymphocytic infiltrate. No papillary structures are identified. There is no significant nuclear atypia.  Superficial small blood vessels appear congested.

===General===
*These lesions lack papillae and are typical flat.
*Clinically, it may not be possible to differentiate renal pelvis urothelial carcinoma and [[renal cell carcinoma]].
 
===Microscopic===
Features:
*Nuclear pleomorphism - '''key feature'''.
**Compare nuclei to one another.
*Increased N/C ratio.
*Lack of maturation to surface (important).
 
*Cells become dyscohesive.
**Mostly useless in my experience.
 
Invasion vs. in situ:
Useful features - present in invasion:<ref>Sternberg, SE. Histology for Pathologists. P.2047.</ref>
*Thin-walled vessels.
*Stromal reaction (hypercellularity).
*Retraction artefact around the tumour cell nests.
 
Note:
*The presence/absence of muscle should be commented on in biopsy specimens.

===General===
*Benign.
*Can be thought of as [[cystitis cystica]] with mucin-secreting cells lining the cystic spaces.<ref name=Ref_WMSP304>{{Ref WMSP|304}}</ref>

Features:<ref name=Ref_PBoD1028>{{Ref PBoD|1028}}</ref>
*Nests of urothelium within the lamina propria with cyst formation, i.e. lumens are present.
*Cyst lining cells are cuboidal and/or columnar epithelium.
**Produce mucin.
*+/-Goblet cells, i.e. intestinal metaplasia.<ref name=Ref_WMSP304>{{Ref WMSP|304}}</ref>

====Micro====
The sections show urothelial mucosa with bland nests within the lamina propria with cyst formation. The stroma is edematous and has a mixed inflammatory infiltrate consisting of plasma cells, eosinophils, lymphocytes and neutrophils.
