====Muscularis propria invasion==== | |||
The presence or absence of muscularis propria invasion is very important determination - as the clinical management changes between T1 and T2: | |||
*T1: usually conservative treatment - local excision. | |||
*T2: radical treatment - cystectomy or cystoprostatectomy. | |||
A thin layer of discontinous muscularis mucuosae is present and, especially if hypertrophic, may be confused with muscuaris propria. | |||

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. | |||
