Abstract
Inverted papillomas of the bladder are uncommon benign neoplasms characterized by endophytic growth of urothelial cells as anastomosing cords, displaying minimal cytologic atypia. Reports of inverted papilloma associated with urothelial carcinoma or urothelial carcinoma arising within inverted papilloma highlight the difficulties in evaluating urothelial lesions with inverted growth patterns. Within the spectrum of findings in inverted papilloma, vacuolization and foamy (xanthomatous-appearing) cytoplasmic changes have not been previously reported. In the current study, we present 5 novel cases of inverted papilloma involving 2 men and 3 women ranging in age from 48 to 88 years, who presented with microhematuria (n = 3) or irritative symptoms (n = 2). Cystoscopically, the lesions were polypoid (n = 3), pedunculated (n = 1), or solid (n = 1), measured between 0.7 and 2.5 cm, and were all located at the trigone or bladder neck. Morphologically, all cases had some component of usual inverted papilloma along with areas displaying foamy or vacuolated cytoplasm encompassing 30% to 90% of the lesion. These "clear cells" were seen both in distinct regions within the biopsy and, more frequently, intermingled with usual inverted papilloma cells. In 3 of 5 cases, these findings were sufficiently unusual to cause confusion with urothelial carcinoma. The diagnostic dilemma encountered in these cases of inverted papilloma with foamy or vacuolated cytoplasm warrants their distinction from other benign and malignant urothelial lesions with inverted growth and/or clear cell features.

Abstract
Inverted papillomas of the genitourinary tract are uncommon benign neoplasms usually occurring in the urinary bladder and less frequently in the upper urinary tract. To date, there are scant data and no comprehensive studies of inverted papilloma originating in the prostatic urethra. We identified 21 cases and evaluated their demographic, clinical, and histopathologic features. Patients had a mean age of 65.1 years (range: 30 to 89 y), with 10/21 (47.6%) presenting with gross hematuria (n = 8) or irritative symptoms (n = 2) related to the inverted papilloma and 11/21 (52.4%) detected incidentally during work-up/treatment of prostate cancer (n = 6) or benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) (n = 5). Fourteen cystoscopically evaluated lesions measured 0.1 to 2.0 cm, and were described as polypoid (n = 9), papillary (n = 4), or an enlarged median lobe (n = 1). Lesions were diagnosed on transurethral resection (n = 8), biopsy/polypectomy targeted to the lesion (n = 6), radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer (n = 4), or biopsy unrelated to the lesion (n = 3). Histologically, 14/21 cases (67%) displayed classic inverted papilloma architecture. The remaining cases showed foci of squamous metaplasia with moderate atypia (n = 4), rare true papillary fronds in a classic inverted papilloma background (n = 2), or both (n = 1). Eleven cases with prostatic tissue revealed adenocarcinoma of the prostate [n = 6; Gleason score 6 (n = 3) or 7 (n = 3)], high-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (n = 1), benign prostatic hypertrophy (n = 3), or adenosis (n = 1). No patients had a prior history of either inverted papilloma or urothelial carcinoma, whereas 2 patients were diagnosed with high-grade urothelial carcinoma of the bladder synchronous with their inverted papilloma diagnosis. Only 1 of the 18 patients with available follow-up had a recurrence of inverted papilloma in the prostatic urethra. None of the other patients had local recurrences or recurrences at other locations in the urinary tract (mean follow-up 39.9 mo; range: 3 to 120 mo). Inverted papillomas of the prostatic urethra are benign lesions that are commonly detected incidentally and are not associated with a history of urothelial malignancy. Although urothelial carcinoma elsewhere in the genitourinary tract may occur simultaneously, malignant transformation or recurrence as a malignant lesion has not been identified in inverted papilloma of the prostatic urethra.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A case series of inverted papilloma of the urinary bladder and urethra is presented, together with a review of the literature with respect to multiplicity, recurrence rate and association with transitional cell carcinoma, and a discussion on surveillance of the lesion. METHODS Cases of inverted papilloma of the lower urinary tract in a single centre were reviewed. Patient and tumour characteristics, recurrence and associated transitional cell carcinoma are reported. RESULTS Twenty patients were included (18 male, two female). The mean age was 60.8 years (range 35-78 years). All had solitary tumours ranging from 3 mm to 30 mm in size. Median cystoscopic follow up was 30 months (range 2-140 months). There was no recurrence. One patient was associated with subsequent transitional cell carcinoma 44 and 76 months later. Together with the present 20 cases, review of the English literature with respect to inverted papilloma of the lower urinary tract identified a total of 322 cases reported, with a recurrence rate of 3.85%. Moreover, 1.55%, 5.90% and 1.54% were associated with previous, simultaneous and subsequent transitional cell carcinoma, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Recurrence is not uncommon and risk of subsequent transitional cell carcinoma is not rare, such that non-invasive surveillance with flexible cystoscopy is recommended for inverted papilloma of the lower urinary tract.

Abstract
Inverted papilloma of the urinary bladder is rare in the pediatric population. Despite several reports in the literature the prognostic significance and biological potential behavior of this lesion remain uncertain. The authors report a case of polypoid inverted papilloma of the urinary bladder in an 11-year-old boy and review its pathology. The pediatric population with this lesion is an ideal group to provide intense, long-term follow-up to define the biological behavior and prognosis significance of this lesion.

Abstract
Most papillary transitional cell carcinomas (TCC) are characterized architecturally by an exophytic growth of fingerlike papillae, but some exhibit a prominent endophytic growth pattern resulting in considerable difficulty in assessing invasion. We report on 18 cases of TCC (17 urinary bladder, one pelvicalyceal system) in which endophytic growth was evident either as interanastomosing cords and columns of urothelium, often with a striking resemblance to inverted papilloma (inverted papilloma-like pattern), or as broad, pushing bulbous invaginations into the lamina propria (broad-front pattern). The mean age of the patients was 68 years (range, 32-94 years), with a male preponderance (3.5:1). In four cases, the endophytic pattern was exclusively inverted papilloma-like, 10 cases had only the broad-front pattern, and four cases showed both patterns. Exophytic papillary TCC of the usual type was present in all but two cases, varying from focal (five cases) to moderate (five cases) to extensive (six cases). In spite of the extensive incursion into the lamina propria resulting from the inverted growth, only nine cases (50%) had unequivocal destructive invasion (lamina propria invasion, eight cases; muscularis propria invasion, one case). Follow-up data, available in 14 cases (1-48 months; mean, 15.5 months), revealed one patient alive with disease, 11 patients with no evidence of disease, and two patients dead of other causes. The limited follow-up does not permit evaluation of the impact of the endophytic patterns on outcome. Because the phenomenon of endophytic growth in TCC has received little attention, we present detailed morphologic descriptions of our cases and review the problems associated with assessment of invasion and the different patterns of invasion by TCC.

Abstract
We report a case of inverted papilloma in the urinary bladder with special reference to its malignant potential. A 77-year-old male patient complaining of microhaematuria was subjected to cystoscopic examination, which showed a non-papillary pedunculated tumour at the postero-lateral wall, and was treated with transurethral resection. The histological findings of the specimen were compatible with inverted papilloma of the urinary bladder, except for the presence of low grade dysplastic changes in the tumour nuclei. We revealed the malignant potential of this tumour, analyzing and evaluating nuclear DNA content, proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) as well as p53 expression.

Abstract
We describe herein a case of inverted papilloma of the ureter, in which transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder developed twenty-three months after nephroureterectomy. Flow cytometric analysis of formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded archival material of the inverted papilloma revealed DNA aneuploidy pattern and relatively high percentage of S phase. Retrospectively, DNA measurement thus provided the predictive value regarding biological activity and the clinical behaviour of the present case.

Abstract
An asymptomatic 73-year-old woman was found to have multiple, simultaneous, inverted papillomas of the renal pelvis and ureter. A review of the world literature yielded 34 cases of inverted papillomas in the upper urinary tract: 13 in the renal pelvis, and 21 in the ureter. Among these 34 cases, there were 26 male and five female patients, with gender not given for three others. Patients ranged in age from 19 to 89 years (mean, 64.1 years). Many cases lacked complete clinical details but, among the others, gross painless hematuria was the presenting symptom in seven; hematuria with flank pain or colic in six; and pain without hematuria in six. Only six patients lacked urinary tract symptoms, and three of these had microscopic hematuria. Only two patients had more than one inverted papilloma, and these were not multicentric. Adequate pathologic documentation and follow-up data were, unfortunately, absent in many of the cases. Although inverted papillomas are curable with surgical resection, with a low rate of local recurrence, they appear to be associated with synchronous or asynchronous carcinomas, especially other transitional cell tumors in the urinary tract.

Abstract
We describe 5 new cases of inverted papilloma of the urinary tract. One case represents the second known recurrence of this tumor while another demonstrated areas of adjacent low grade papillary transitional cell carcinoma. Immunohistochemical studies suggest a histogenetic difference between inverted papillomas of the prostatic urethra and of the bladder.

Abstract
Based on 15 cases of inverted urothelial papilloma, we present the clinical significance of these lesions in view of the current literature. An inverted papilloma should raise suspicion with respect to the whole urothelial surface. However, approaching every lesion of this type as a (pre-)neoplastic tumor does not seem justified, since 90 percent of all cases reported so far do not present any clinical or histologic feature of malignancy. Some factors, such as the patient's history, eventually associated urothelial carcinomas, or histologic features of malignant transformation within an inverted papilloma, must be taken into consideration. If no single indication in favor of malignancy has been disclosed, we believe follow-up with yearly endoscopic investigations, in addition to regular urine cytologies, may suffice.

Abstract
Three cases of inverted papilloma of the urinary bladder were studied by transmission electron microscopy. Scanning electron microscopic observation was made in one of these. The surfaces of the outer-most tumour cells were covered with short stubby microvilli. Multiple bud like proliferations of the tumour cells were compatible with a trabecular type of inverted papilloma. The tumour cells of the trabeculum mimicked the intermediate and basal cells of the epithelium which covered the surface. Microcysts are believed to be formed by epithelial migration into pits, creating an epithelial inversion, and do not represent central necrosis. Ultrastructure suggests that inverted papilloma is a very well differentiated tumour.
