Abstract
Urine cytology remains an important adjunctive test in the diagnostic armamentarium of the urologist. The clinical scenarios in which urine cytology is performed include the evaluation of hematuria and irritative voiding symptoms, initial work-up for a suspected urothelial malignancy, and surveillance following treatment for urothelial cancer. The work-up for a given cytologic diagnosis may include contrast-enhanced imaging and cystoscopy, depending on the degree of clinical suspicion. Urine cytology may be particularly useful in situations where direct endoscopic visualization can be difficult or impractical, such as in the upper urinary tract or following urinary diversion. The ultimate care of the patient should be individualized based on all available information. Communication between the clinician and cytopathologist is essential in order to optimally utilize urine cytology.
