Only 60 patients had histopathology correlation. In addition all the patients have evaluated for upper and lower urinary tract by cystoscopy to R/O any pathology.
Results: These 290 cases were classified into two broad categories as: negative and positive for atypia. Majority of cases i.e. 229 (78.9 %) cases were negative for atypical cells whereas 61 (21.1 %) cases showed presence of atypical cells. 61 cases with atypical cells were evaluated using Paris system of reporting urine cytology.
