Subclassifying atypical urine cytology specimens can help identify patients at risk for urothelial neoplasms. Recognizing specific patterns aids in risk stratification for low-grade or high-grade cancers.

Area of Science:

  • Uropathology
  • Cytopathology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Gynecologic Papanicolaou smear subclassifications effectively stratify risk for significant lesions.
  • Similar subclassifications may benefit atypical urine cytology specimens.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the value of subclassifying atypical urine cytology specimens.
  • To determine if pattern recognition aids in risk stratification for urothelial neoplasms.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of urine cytology.
  • Summary of personal experience with atypical urine cytology specimens.

Main Results:

  • Atypical urine cytology specimens can be categorized into limited, distinct patterns.

  • These patterns correlate with varying risks of low-grade or high-grade urothelial neoplasms.

    • Conclusions:

    • Subclassification of urine cytology specimens offers value in patient risk stratification.
    • Awareness of specific patterns improves the evaluation of urinary cytology specimens for urothelial carcinoma.
