PUNLMP - WHO/ISUP Classification, 2004 WebPathology
Papillary urothelial neoplasms of low malignant potential (PUNLMP) show urothelial thickening but lack cytologic features of malignancy.
The image shows several papillary fragments with an orderly arrangement of cells. Umbrella cell layer can be recognized even at low magnification.
PUNLMPs are characterized by a homogenous monotonous appearance, normal to slightly enlarged nuclei and inconspicuous nucleoli. Mitotic figures are (...)

urothelial papilloma
24 May 2013Webpathology
Definition : Urothelial papillomas do not show any appreciable thickening of the lining urothelium.
Cross-sectional view of papillary fronds showing showing 4 to 6 layers of normal-appearing urothelium. In some cases, tangential sectioning may give a false impression of increased urothelial thickness.
The umbrella cells show prominent vacuolization in some fronds. Urothelial papillomas pursue a benign clinical course and recur uncommonly. In rare cases, they progress to (...) -

24 May 2013urothelial carcinoma WP
Transitional cell carcinoma (TCC), also urothelial cell carcinoma or (UCC), is a type of cancer that typically occurs in the urinary system: the kidney, urinary bladder, and accessory organs.
It is the most common type of bladder cancer and cancer of the ureter, urethra, and urachus. It is the second most common type of kidney cancer, but accounts for only five to 10 percent of all primary renal malignant tumors.
TCC arises from the transitional epithelium, a (...) -

Normal urothelium : http://www.webpathology.com/image.asp?case=49&n=1
The normal urothelial lining varies in thickness from two layers to seven layers of cells, depending upon the degree of distension of the bladder. A surface umbrella cell layer can be seen. The urothelial lining in this image is 3 to 5 layers thick. Umbrella cell layer is prominent. The underlying lamina propria contains a rich capillary network.
