Abstract
This chapter focuses on practical issues concerning the reporting of urothelial carcinoma, which should be based on the 7th ed. AJCC Staging Manual and the WHO 2004 classification. The terminology for reporting pT1 versus pT2 urothelial carcinoma and definitions for extravesical and prostatic invasion are discussed. Finally, the reporting of variant types of urothelial carcinomas is addressed.
