The aim of this work is to propose a new clinical data system which should accompany the histological sample for the histologic diagnosis made by the pathologist. Six different schedules on the most important urological tumours are presented: prostate (needle biopsies and surgical approach), bladder (endoscopic procedure and open surgery), kidney and ureter, testis. In each schedule the urologist provides, in a scheme, the clinical report needed for the pathologist's final diagnosis. A clear explanation of the clinical data and a faster method of filling in the form are the qualifying elements of these schedules.
