Part of the book series: Essentials of Diagnostic Pathology ((ESSENTPATH))

Abstract

Practical relevance of ancillary studies such as immunocytochemistry, cytometric DNA quantitation, and fluorescence in situ hybridization is highlighted in a first section.

The ‘benign section’ particularly deals with dilemmas in diagnostic workup of degenerative and reactive urothelial atypia. Furthermore, cell changes due to polyomavirus infection are described in detail.

Cytology of the following disorders in exfoliative samples from bladder, ureter and renal pelvis is broadly discussed in a third section: (1) Prostatic ductal adenocarcinoma involving urethra, (2) precancerous urothelial lesions, (3) papillary transitional cell carcinomas, (4) solid transitional cell carcinomas, (5) other primary urinary tract cancers, and (6) non-urothelial carcinomas potentially causing diagnostic confusion in the case of invading the urinary collecting system.

Cytodiagnostic algorithms of benign, precancerous and malignant lesions and their respective differential diagnoses are additionally presented in synoptic setups.
