====Micro====
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.

*Very rare diagnosed.
**If the person has a history of a low grade papillary urothelial carcinoma... it is a low grade papillary urothelial carcinoma.
**These cases are a consensus diagnosis, i.e. you show it to a colleague... if they agree you can call it.

Features:<ref name=Ref_WMSP310>{{Ref WMSP|310}}</ref>
*Papillary fronds.
*Minimal branching or fusion.
*Cytological features of normal urothelium.
**Normal urothelium approx. 2x the size of stromal lymphocytes.<ref name=Ref_GUP161>{{Ref GUP|161}}</ref>
