Determining histological pictures from cytological findings in catheter urine specimens of ureter/renal pelvis carcinoma

Abstract

To determine histological pictures from cytologic findings in urolothelial ureter/renal pelvis carcinoma, cell block slides were made from urine samples procured with selective ureter lavage. In 67% of cases with ureter/renal pelvis cancer, cell block/mount quick cell block specimens were prepared. Cytologic findings could be compared with those of histology, So complementary examination of histological and cytological specimens improve diagnostic accuracy in the interpretation of cytological specimens with complementary urolothelial ureter/renal pelvis carcinoma.
