Good afternoon doctors. my cytology report indicated i was negative for urothelial carcinoma. why would the pathologist also indicate that there were urothelial cells and squamous cells present? what does the presence of these cells mean?

All body surfaces including the inside of the bladder/urinary collecting system will shed older cells. They are replaced naturally over time. The reporting confirms that the sample came from the proper source and indicates all findings are normal. This is what the doctor wants to see in a report. S/he wouldn't want to see digestive tract cells in a test of the urinary tract. Ask as often as U lik
