Abstract

The 5th edition of WHO classification of the urinary tract tumors is only mildly edited version of the previous WHO classification (from year 2016). The most prominent changes are represented by modifications in the structure and concept of chapters and there are minor alterations in the nomenclature of some entities. Histological characteristics are still the gold standard for classification of urothelial tract neoplasms.
