Urinary Bladder Flashcards
Lining of cystitis glandularis
Intestinal type epithelium or glandular metaplasia
Type of cystitis with formation of lymhpoid follicles with germinal
Centers
Follicular cystitis
Cystitis associated with indwelling catheters
Papillary or polypoid cystitis
- edematous with broad FV cores
> 6 weeks cystitis with no identifiable cause and development of Hunner ulcers in late stages
Interstitial cystitis
Type of cystitis associated with precipitation of salts with calcified debris embedded in the mucosa
Encrusted cystitis
Pneumatosis of the bladder due to trauma, fistula, instrumentation or urinary stasis. Histologically with air bubbles surrounded by FBGCs
Emphysematous cystitis
Yellowish submucosal plaques mimicking bladder cancer
Amyloidosis
A man with recurrent UTI had a buopsy which showed sheets of foamy macrophages, chronic inflammation, and black intracytoplasmic inclusions
Dx? Stain? Mc organism?
Malakoplakia
Von kossa stain
Michaelis-gutmann bodies
E. Coli
A patient had repeated AUS dx on urine cytology and thus had frequent instrumentation. A biopsy done shows papillary and tubular lesions lined by hobnail epithelial cells that seem to infiltrate the lamina propria and superficial detrusor muscle. There was no mitosis, necrosis, solid growth or invasion
IHC (+) PAX8, CK7 and AMACR
dx?
Nephrogenic metaplasia/adenoma
- metaplastic change from chronic irritation or exfoliated renal tubular cells get implanted on these sites
- mimics malignancy
A UB papillary tumor with exophytic, thin FV cores lined by normal urothelium (normal thickness)
IHC: (+) CK20 on umbrella cells
Dx? Mutation? Prognosis?
Urothelial papilloma
HRAS, KRAS
BENIGN
A 65 year old smoker came in due to hematuria. A polypoid growth is seen in the bladder which was excised. Microsections show a papillary pattern with FV cores lined by urothelial cells with variably increased thickness with cells with mild cytologic atypia and a single nonbasal mitotic figure.
Dx? Molecular? Prognosis?
Noninvasive papillary urothelial carcinoma, low grade
FGFR3 alterations and TERT promoter mutations
Frequent recurrence (50%)
Rare progression to invasive urothelial carcinoma
A UB papillary tumor with marked cytologic atypia present in 5% of the tumor.
Ihc: (+) CK20 (full thickness
Dx? Mutations? Prognosis?
non-invasive papillary urothelial carcinoma, high-grade
TERT promoter
FGFR3 alterations
P53 mutations
P16 loss
Progression to invasive urothelial carcinoma
A 68 year old man came in due to atypical cells seen un urine cytology. Cystoscopy was done and surgeon saw erythematous mucosal patches which were then biopsied. Microsections show a flat mucosal lining with markedly atypical urothelial cells with disordered architecture.
IHC: (+) ck20 (full thickness), p53 aberrant, increased ki67
Dx? Mutation? Prognosis?
Urothelial carcinoma in situ
TERT, p53, DNA damage repair genes, PI3K and MAPK pathways
Frequent recurrence and progression to Invasive urothelial carcinoma
A man working with benzidine dyes came in due to dysuria and hematuria. Cystoscopy showed bladder thickening which was biopsied. Microsections show sheets and single cels invading the lamina propria
IHC: (+) GATA3, p63, HMWCK, CK7 and CK20, uroplakin
(-) Pax8
Dx? Mutations? Risk factors?
Invasive urothelial carcinoma, conventional type
TERT promoter, tp53
Smoking, radiation, benzidine dyes, opiates, high SES
What are the urothelial CA with divergent differentiation?
Comventional invasive urothelial carcinoma +
Squamous diff
Glandular diff
Trophoblastic diff
Subtype of urothelial CA that is agressive and has frequent LVI and HER2 overexpression?
Micropapillary UC
Subtype of UC composed of nests of BLAND urothelial cells resembling Von Brunn nests but infiltrating. Cytologic atypia appears on deeper nests
Dx? Prognosis?
What if nests are larger and with rounded to circumscribed border
NESTED UC
Aggressive
LARGE NESTED
