Papillary urothelial hyperplasia
Papillary urothelial hyperplasia, abbreviated PUH, is a benign lesion of the urothelium that is associated with the subsequent development of low-grade papillary urothelial carcinoma.
General
- Benign.
- Strong association with papillary neoplasms.
- On follow-up (in one study) >1/4, without prior history of urothelial neoplasia, have urothelial carcinoma; thus, follow-up is recommended.[1]
Microscopic
Features:[2]
- Inflammation.
- Papillary structures without well-developed fibrovascular cores.
- Tent-like appearance or spike-like appearance - short/stubby papillae not longer than the urothelium is thick.[3]
- No urothelial cell atypia.
DDx:
- Low-grade papillary urothelial carcinoma - have well-developed fibrovascular core.

URINARY BLADDER, BIOPSY: - REACTIVE PAPILLARY HYPERPLASIA, SEE COMMENT. - NO MUSCULARIS PROPRIA IDENTIFIED. - CYSTITIS CYSTICA ET GLANDULARIS. - NO EVIDENCE OF MALIGNANCY. COMMENT: The urothelial forms rare papillary structures; these are interpreted as reactive. The urothelium stains as follow: CK7: positive, patchy (normal). CK20: only rare superficial cells (normal). Ki-67: rare, focally increased, negative in papillary structures (<10%). p53: negative (weak focal <20%), very rare weak in rare papillary structures (<5%). Follow-up is recommended.
