Abstract
A number of benign disorders including bacterial and viral inflammatory conditions, metaplastic processes, urolithiasis, systemic drugs, and other entities may have a significant impact on the cytology of the urinary tract. Cellular changes produced by these conditions may either mimic or conceal the presence of malignant tumors. These disorders are described in this chapter, not necessarily in the order of their importance but according to their etiology.
