The "stipple sign" - urographic harbinger of transitional cell neoplasms

G K McLean et al. Urol Radiol. 1979.

Abstract

The trapping of contrast material within the interstices of a papillary growth produces a stippled appearance when viewed end on. Since the majority of transitional cell neoplasms have a papillary configuration, the stipple sign is highly suggestive of the presence of this lesion.
