Abstract
Urine cytology is a convenient method by which clinicians can screen and triage patients with urinary symptoms as well as a history of exposure to bladder-toxic agents. This chapter reviews cytologic findings in a variety of urine specimens with variable degrees of atypia and highlights the criteria for specific diagnoses in the Paris System for Reporting Urinary Cytology.
