THE PROGNOSTIC VALUE OF A PRIMARY INVERTED PAPILLOMA OF THE URINARY TRACT

Abstract

Reviewing these data and our own results, we conclude that an inverted papilloma does not seem to be a risk factor for transitional cell carcinoma, although inverted papillomas and transitional cell carcinoma appear to be related to some extent. Therefore, frequent and long-term followup does not seem to be necessary provided that there is no doubt about the difficult histological diagnosis.
