摘要

The variety of therapeutic approaches to urological diseases, particularly in urological oncology increases the need for detailed and standardized uropathological diagnostic procedures. A standardized diagnostic approach helps to achieve a high quality of diagnoses in uropathology. It is now expected that certain features in biopsies and resected tumors will be evaluated and described in pathology reports. German pathology offers guidelines for handling specimens and in addition there are some sophisticated clinical/pathological guidelines (e.g. European guidelines) with specific standards relating to diagnostic requirements which will be discussed in this article. There are German pathology guidelines for tumors of the prostate, testis, kidneys, renal pelvis, urethra and urinary bladder.
