What Does Typical Urothelial Cell Means?

My father has blood in his urine so he went for an ultrasound and they found a mass on the lower left pole of his kidney. i dont recall the size of the mass but it was fairly large. He also had a urinalysis done and the Cytology Daignosis came back with Atypical urothelial cells present and RBC's present. Is is possible that this is a large kidney stone cuasing the issue rather than cancer?

Urologist,  's  Response
Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist,i can understand your anxiety.You should've written his age.
A stone is very easy to diagnose on any scan and will be reported also.
A mass or tumor,needs a CT-IVU,for further evaluation,and's very accurate.
Typically,the person has blood in urine,which's sent for a cytology test.
Atypical cells further increase the chance, of the tumor being a cancer.
A CT guided needle biopsy,is done in most centers,to confirm the diagnosis.
You may send the reports to me,as a direct question,to clear all your doubt.
