===General===
*Aggressive.
 
===Microscopic===
Features:<ref name=Ref_WMSP310>{{Ref WMSP|310}}</ref>
*"High grade nuclear features":
**Nuclear pleomorphism - often 4-5x the size of stromal lymphocytes.<ref name=Ref_GUP161>{{Ref GUP|161}}</ref>
*Architectural complexity.
**Fused papillary common.
**Papillae branch.
*Mitoses common.
*+/-Invasion into the lamina propria.
 
Note:
*The presence/absence of muscle should be commented on in biopsy specimens.
*Adipose tissue may be seen in the lamina propria; tumour adjacent to adipose tissue on a biopsy does '''not''' imply invasion deep to the muscularis propria.<ref name=pmid7879346>{{Cite journal  | last1 = Bochner | first1 = BH. | last2 = Nichols | first2 = PW. | last3 = Skinner | first3 = DG. | title = Overstaging of transitional cell carcinoma: clinical significance of lamina propria fat within the urinary bladder. | journal = Urology | volume = 45 | issue = 3 | pages = 528-31 | month = Mar | year = 1995 | doi = 10.1016/S0090-4295(99)80030-2 | PMID = 7879346 }}</ref>

<pre>
URINARY BLADDER LESION ("TUMOUR"), TRANSURETHRAL RESECTION:
- HIGH-GRADE PAPILLARY UROTHELIAL CARCINOMA.
- NO LAMINA PROPRIA INVASION APPARENT.
- NEGATIVE FOR LYMPHOVASCULAR INVASION.
- NO MUSCULARIS PROPRIA IDENTIFIED.
</pre>
 
====Invasion into the lamina propria====
<pre>
URINARY BLADDER LESION ("TUMOUR"), TRANSURETHRAL RESECTION URINARY BLADDER TUMOUR (TURBT):
- INVASIVE HIGH-GRADE PAPILLARY UROTHELIAL CARCINOMA WITH LAMINA PROPRIA INVASION.
- MUSCULARIS PROPRIA NEGATIVE FOR INVASIVE MALIGNANCY.
- NEGATIVE FOR LYMPHOVASCULAR INVASION.
</pre>
 
====Invasion into the muscularis propria====
<pre>
URINARY BLADDER LESION ("TUMOUR"), TRANSURETHRAL RESECTION URINARY BLADDER TUMOUR (TURBT):
- INVASIVE HIGH-GRADE PAPILLARY UROTHELIAL CARCINOMA AT LEAST INTO MUSCULARIS PROPRIA.
- LYMPHOVASCULAR INVASION PRESENT.
</pre>
 
====Low-grade versus high-grade====
<pre>
URINARY BLADDER LESION ("TUMOUR"), TRANSURETHRAL RESECTION URINARY BLADDER TUMOUR (TURBT):
- HIGH-GRADE PAPILLARY UROTHELIAL CARCINOMA, SEE COMMENT.
- NEGATIVE FOR LAMINA PROPRIA INVASION.
- NO MUSCULARIS PROPRIA PRESENT.
 
COMMENT:
The sections show papillary branching, papillary fusion and scattered large cells (~4-5 a
resting lymphocyte). Atypical for a high-grade lesion is that mitotic activity is scarce
and prominent nucleoli are not present.
</pre>
 
=====Micro=====
The sections show a small fragment of urothelial mucosa with two papillary structures,
enlarged nuclei (~3-4x resting lymphocyte) and moderate nuclear size variation.  Mitotic activity is seen focally. Umbrella
cells are seen only focally.
 
A mild lymphocyte-predominant inflammatory infiltrate is present. The lamina propria
contains a nest with smaller cells, cystic spaces and no appreciable mitoses
(cystitis cystica).
