| Imaging of papillary tumors is sometimes
difficult. Shown here are some of the papillae of a benign
papillary tumor, with an intact lamina propria underneath. It is
often necessary to nestle the probe towards the base of the tumor to
visualize the base of the stalk and evaluate for invasion of the lamina
propria. An image taken from the tip or stalk of the papillae may
look like normal epithelium, albeit very thick. |
This image is of a papillary tumor of
the bladder, as seen during cystoscopy. The image is taken from :
