Image Description
The image shows conventional urothelial carcinoma in the upper part with areas of glandular differentiation underneath. This feature is seen in about 10% of urothelial carcinomas. It is not considered to be of any clinical significance. However, it is recommended that such features be noted in the pathology report. This information may be helpful if the tumor metastasizes.
