| Review Title: | Evaluation of women with a positive urine cytology and no demonstrable disease in the urinary tract |
| Abstract: | Urinary cytology is indispensable both for the evaluation of gross hematuria and surveillance of patients with urothelial neoplasms. A positive urine cytology usually indicates the presence of urothelial carcinoma somewhere in the urinary tract. However, in women, it may also signal urothelial carcinoma involvement of the lower gynecologic tract or be the presenting sign for a primary cancer of the lower gynecologic tract or rectum. Guidelines for the evaluation of women with a positive cytology and normal urinary tract are lacking. We present a review of the current literature with case scenarios to bring clinicians attention to this diagnostic dilemma. © 2023 Elsevier Inc. |
