Immunohistochemistry must be always indicated in concrete differential diagnostic consideration. In this review article, immunohistochemistry will be discussed in the three different settings - distinction of benign and malignant changes of urothelium, the most frequent pitfalls and non-urothelial neoplasms of urinary tract.
