Abstract
In the 1999 World Health Organization classification system, papillary tumors of the urinary bladder were classified as papilloma, papillary urothelial neoplasm of low malignant potential (PUNLMP), and as Grade 1, Grade 2, and Grade 3 urothelial carcinoma. The biologic potential of PUNLMP of the urinary bladder is controversial. To the authors' knowledge, information regarding the genetic changes of PUNLMP tumors of the bladder is limited.
