====Micro====
The sections show a small fragment of urothelial mucosa with small urothelial nests that are focally cystic.  The nests are well-circumscribed and approximately of equal size. Adjacent to the nests is a small cluster of bland appearing lymphocytes.
 
No exophytic component is identified. No papillary structures are apparent. The cytomorphology of the urothelium is bland and no mitotic activity is readily apparent.
