'''Urothelial carcinoma in situ''', also known as '''high-grade (urothelial) dysplasia''', a non-invasive [[urothelium|urothelial]] neoplasm without papillae.
 
It is also known as '''[[carcinoma in situ]]''', abbreviated '''CIS'''.
 
==General==
*Lack papillae.
 
==Microscopic==
Features:
*Nuclear changes '''key feature'''.
**Enlargement of nuclei (often 4-5x the size of stromal lymphocytes) -- diagnostic.<ref name=Ref_GUP161>{{Ref GUP|161}}</ref>
***Normal urothelium approx. 2x the size of stromal lymphocytes.
**Nuclear pleomorphism - marked variation in size of nuclei.
*+/-Disordered arrangement/crowding of cells.
**In normal urothelium the cell line-up on the basement membrane.
*Umbrella cells often absent.
*+/-Mitoses present.
*+/-Enlarged nucleoli.
 
Note:
*The urothelium may be "depleted", i.e. exist only of rare large cells on the basement membrane.
**This is known as ''clinging urothelial carcinoma in situ''.<ref>{{Ref Amin|2-55}}</ref>

*Ki-67 ~50% of cells - deep and superficial.
**Normal ~10% of cells, confined to basal aspect.
