Urinary cytology for carcinoma in situ of the urinary bladder. 1985

B Rosa, and M Cazin, and G Dalian

The urinary cytologies of 14 nonpapillary carcinomas in situ of the urinary bladder were reviewed. Cytologic malignancy was often diagnosed before any clinical manifestation or cytoscopic lesion could be perceived. The cytologic characteristics of this lesion as previously described in the literature were confirmed: the background was usually clean and the tumor cells were numerous and relatively monomorphic, with many atypias. Taking into consideration the limitations discussed, urinary cytology should be regarded as having great accuracy in the early diagnosis of in situ carcinoma of the urinary bladder.

D002278	Carcinoma in Situ	A lesion with cytological characteristics associated with invasive carcinoma but the tumor cells are confined to the epithelium of origin, without invasion of the basement membrane.

D002467	Cell Nucleus	Within a eukaryotic cell, a membrane-limited body which contains chromosomes and one or more nucleoli (CELL NUCLEOLUS). The nuclear membrane consists of a double unit-type membrane which is perforated by a number of pores; the outermost membrane is continuous with the ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM. A cell may contain more than one nucleus. (From Singleton & Sainsbury, Dictionary of Microbiology and Molecular Biology, 2d ed)	Cell Nuclei,Nuclei, Cell,Nucleus, Cell
