Bladder cancer
The main condition of interest in urinary bladder cytologies and biopsies is bladder cancer. 95% of bladder cancers are transitional cell carcinoma (also called urothelial carcinoma).[1]
Urothelial carcinoma
- Low grade
-
Low grade: Urothelium is thickened but only slightly atypical and has maintained polarity.
-
Intermediate magnification.
-
Low magnification
-
Low grade
-
Low grade
-
Low-magnification of the same case, showing inverted growth.
- High grade
-
High grade: Loss of polarity and severe abnormal cytology.
-
Low-magnification of same case, showing papillary architecture.
-
With giant, bizarre, anaplastic cells
-
High grade, with early invasion, showing single cells and irregularly shaped nests of tumor cells infiltrating the underlying stroma.
- Variants
-
Micropapillary: Micropapillary clusters of tumor cells within lacunae
-
Cribriform, high magnification
-
Cribriform, low magnification
-
Another case of glandular differentiation, showing luminal spaces with proteinaceous secretions
-
Another case of glandular differentiation
-
Another case of glandular differentiation
-
Plasmacytoid: Monotonous discohesive cells with eosinophilic cytoplasm and eccentric nuclei.
-
With inflammatory stromal reaction
-
With squamous differentiation
-
Villoglandular: glandular differentiation and villous architecture
-
Another villoglandular case. Typical papillary urothelial carcinoma is seen on the left
-
With prominent retraction artifacts
Non-urothelial cancers
The other 5% of urinary bladder cancer types are squamous cell carcinomas, adenocarcinomas, sarcomas, small cell carcinomas, and secondary deposits from cancers elsewhere in the body.[1]
