Translated title:
Urothelial lesions with inverted growth pattern.
Summary:
Among the group of urothelial lesions, the ones with an inverted growth pattern constititute only a minor portion of the whole. Their common morphological characteristic is the presence of a minor or larger, case-by-case, endophytic growth pattern into the underlying lamina propria. This category encompasses lesions of reactive nature, which are the ones more commonly encountered in daily practice, as well as benign and malignant neoplastic entities, with different biological behaviors but with overlapping morphological features for some of them, that may pose a diagnostic challenge. Towards this direction, ancillary immunohistochemical and more recent molecular techniques are being used, as a means for proper classification of inverted urothelial lesions, more precise diagnostic approach and, by extension, choice of the most appropriate therapeutic manipulations and surveillance protocols for patients.
