Atypical Squamous Cells in urine cytology

Hi Di,

I was diagnosed with invasive high grade Upper Tract Urothelial Carcinoma (UTUC) of my right kidney in March 2022. Kidney, ureter, bladder cuff removed August 2022. Pathology report stated squamous differentiation present. Immunotherapy started in October 2022. My late January 2023 CT scan showed no issues. My early March 2023 bladder scope and cytology showed suspicious lesions and atypical cells. Resection done on lesions; just posted pathology report was High Grade Papillary urothelial carcinoma (non-invasive at the moment). Lynch Syndrome is listed as a risk factor for UTUC. Perhaps you should ask your urologist/doctor for a cytoscopy to "eyeball" the bladder, sooner rather than later. My urologist said the lessions were too small for the CT scan to pick up.
