12 Pee cancer Flashcards
Renal cell carcinoma presentation
*Hematurria, Abdominal mass, Dull flank pain
- hematuria gross or microscopic
Polycythema in 5-10% 2/2 EPO production
Incidence of renal cancer
3-4% of cancer diagnoses and deaths
Renal tumors and prognosis
Almost all renal cell carcinomas involve chromosome 3!!
Clear cell-83%-second worst prognosis
Papillary 11% second best prog
Chromophobe 4% best
Collecting duct/medullary carcinoma 1%(worst)
Renal Oncocytoma (beign) 5-10% incidence- rare recurrence
Angiomyolipoma- Most frequent benign
Clear cell Carcinoma
- Central necrosis(worsened outcome)
- Tumor cells are clear are due to glycogen.
- some abnormal mitoses and prominant nucloli
Papillary renal carcinoma
- tumor cells surround fingerlike stromal core with macrophages
- Varied cell shape and prominant nucleoli
- better prognosis than clear cell cardcinoma
- Thicker papillae denote worse prognosis(type II)
Chromophobe carcinoma
- Halo around wrinkled nucleus
- usually binucleate
- near medulla
- rare mets
Collecting duct carcinoma
- irregular tumor aggregats
- inflammatory fibroblast deposits
- usually high grade with quick metastasis
Medullary carrcinoma
African or mediteranian descent
Sickle cel ltrait or disease
VERY HIGH STAGE- mean survival 3 months
- hypodense mass on CT
- indistinctt cell borders and mitoses
- necrosis
Acquired cystic disease associated renalcarcinoma
- 100X more common in dialysis patients with cysts
* Vaculated cytoplasm with oxalate crystals
Clear cell tubulopapillary
*ESRD associated
Papillary cores with cells with clear cytoplasm and luminal polarized nuclei.
Renal cell carcinoma prognosis and staging
50% 5 year survival
Renal vein or perinephric invasion drops 5 year survival to 15%
Staging
T1- 7 but still confined to kidney
T3a- extend into fat (through capsule
T3b- extending into renal vein
Renal cell carcinoma rading
Grade1: Tiny dot nuclei-no nucleoli
Grade2: slightly larger nuclei-inconspicuous nucleoli
Grade3: Can see nucleoli at low power
Grade 4: Bizarre cells
Oncocytoma
- Benign lesion that may look like cancer
- Stellate scarring within a yellow brown tumor
- edematous stroma- eosinophilic intercalated cells with large amount of cytoplasm
Cured by local excision
Angiomyoliposarcoma
- Vessels sm muscle and fat
- Most common benign renal tumor
- can cause hemorrhage
- premelanosomes -so stains positive with melanoma markers
Wilms Tumor
*peds tumor
* mesodermal derived tissues
-epithelial
-blastema
-Tubular
can be mimiced by congenital nephroblastoma (which is benign)
