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. | The sections show a small fragment of urothelial mucosa with small urothelial nests that are focally cystic.
