Here,we report a case of partial nephrectomy for a ccpRCC detected during the routine follow-up of a previously treated liposarcoma in a 70-year-old male patient. The patient was referred to the urology department for a right-sided renal mass(size: 2 cm)detected during routine annual imaging follow-up for a malignant right inguinal fibrous histocytoma and liposarcoma that had been diagnosed 6 and 4 years earlier,respectively,and treated with surgery and adjuvant radiation therapy.Following partial nephrectomy,the renal mass was pathologically diagnosed as ccpRCC,and immunohistochemistry revealed carbonic anhydrase 9(CA9)expression. No recurrences or metastases were detected on follow-up imaging for6 months. This is the first report of partial nephrectomy for incidentally discovered CA9-positive ccpRCC.展开更多

In this paper, it aimed at a 67 years old male patient with right multifocal papillary renal cell carcinoma (PRCC). Histological finding concluded papillae and tubular structures covered by mild small cells with pale cytoplasm and were characterized by small oval nuclei. The neoplastic mesenchymal consists of foamy macrophages, necrosis, and cholesterol crystal. Immunohistochemically, all papillae and tubular structures express cytokeratin 7 (CK7), CD10, CK (AE1/AE3), alpha-methylacyl-coenzyme A racemase (AMACR) and EMA; but was negative for antibody S-100. All the foamy macrophages show positive reactivity for CD68. The patient underwent right radical nephrectomy and survived well six months after the operation during our follow-up.展开更多

Clear cell papillary RCC is a recently described subtype. Case report: We report the case of a 42 year old female who was found on computed tomography scan of the abdomen to have a cyst which appeared to involve the right kidney. Pathology of the cyst wall revealed features consistent with a RCC, clear cell papillary type. Discussion: Clear cell papillary RCC are a recently described entity with less than 100 cases reported in the literature. Most cases in the literature have been associated with end-stage renal disease, however more case are being reported in patients without renal disease. Conclusion: Clear cell papillary RCC is a rare distinct entity in the spectrum of renal cell carcinoma. Based on the literature they appear to be clinically indolent tumors;however, more research is required to further characterize and prognosticate these rare tumors.展开更多

Over the last 65 years, the incidence of RCC has increased at a rate of 2% per year. The increased incidence is at least partly due to improved tumor detection secondary to greater availability of high-resolution cross-sectional imaging modalities over the last few decades. Most RCCs are asymptomatic at discovery and are detected as unexpected findings on imaging performed for unrelated clinical indications. The 2004 World Health Organization Classification of adult renal tumors stratifies RCC into several distinct histologic subtypes of which clear cell, papillary and chromophobe tumors account for 70%, 10%-15%, and 5%, respectively. Knowledge of the RCC subtype is important because the various subtypes are associated with different biologic behavior, prognosis and treatment options. Furthermore, the common RCC subtypes can often be discriminated non-invasively based on gross morphologic imaging appearances, signal intensity on T2-weighted magnetic resonance images, and the degree of tumor enhancement on dynamic contrast-enhanced computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging examinations. In this article, we review the incidence and survival data, risk factors, clinical and biochemical findings, imaging findings, staging, differential diagnosis, management options and posttreatment follow-up of RCC, with attention focused on the common subtypes.展开更多

For those who diagnose and treat RCC, it is important to understand the new developments. In recent years, many new renal tumors have been described and defined, and our understanding of the biology and clinical correlates of these tumors is changing. Evolving concepts in Xp11 translocation carcinoma, mucinous tubular and spindle cell carcinoma, multilocular cystic clear cell RCC, and carcinoma associated with neuroblastoma are addressed within this review. Tubulocystic carcinoma, thyroid-like follicular carcinoma of kidney, acquired cystic disease-associated RCC, and clear cell papillary RCC are also described. Finally, candidate entities, including RCC with t(6;11) translocation, hybrid oncocytoma/chromophobe RCC, hereditary leiomyomatosis and RCC syndrome, and renal angiomyoadenomatous tumor are reviewed. Knowledge of these new entities is important for diagnosis, treatment and subsequent prognosis. This review provides a targeted summary of new developments in RCC.展开更多

Targeted agents that inhibit key subtype-specific signaling pathways have improved survival times and have recently become part of the standard of care for this disease. Accurately diagnosing and classifying RCC on the basis of tumor histology is thus critical. RCC has been traditionally divided into clear-cell and non-clearcell categories, with papillary RCC forming the most common subtype of non-clear-cell RCC. Renal neoplasms with overlapping histologies, such as tumors with mixed clear-cell and papillary features and hybrid renal oncocytic tumors, are increasingly seen in contemporary practice and present a diagnostic challenge with important therapeutic implications. In this review, we discuss the histologic, immunohistochemical, cytogenetic, and clinicopathologic aspects of these differential diagnoses and illustrate how the classification of RCC has evolved to integrate both the tumor's microscopic appearance and its molecular fingerprint.展开更多

We present a case of a pulmonary tumor embolism from type II papillary renal cell carcinoma successfully treated using a staged approach. Such staged procedures are particularly effective in cases of massive renal tumors. Pulmonary tumor embolectomy using normothermic cardiopulmonary bypass is considerably less invasive than under deep hypothermic circulatory arrest.展开更多
