Hydronephrosis Flashcards
key to detemining TNM staging
whether muscularis propria invaded
most common benign tumor of kidney
most common complication of this tumor
angiomyolipoma (mesenchymal tumor)
hemorrhage complication
polypoid cystitis morphology
projections blunt/broad based,
best diagnosed at low power
grading of urothelial grading based on
nuclei arrangemen/polarity and invasion
61% of neprhogenic adenoma (nephrogenic metaplasia) arise following
GU surgery
associations medullary carcinoma
african or mediterranean descent
patients have sickle cell or sickle cell trait
worst outcome of all kidney cancers (1-7months)
morphology nephrogenic adenoma
benign proliferation of tubules, inflammatory cells
angiomyolipoma derived from
cell type with premelanosomes > stains positive with melanoma markers
papillary cystitis morphology
lined by urothelium
stroma has inflamm cells
patients with acquired cystic diseasse due to crhonic dialysis dependency have a 100x risk of
oxalate crystals
association, morphology Celar Cell tubulopapillary carcinoma
occurs in ESkidneys (cystic or non-cystic)
papillary cores lined by cells with clear cytoplasm and clei towards lumen apical surface
tight packed tubules
morphology clear cell type renal carcinoma
softening center of tumor = gelatinous necrosis (worsens outcome)
association upper urothelial tract orothelail carcinoma
mismatch repaire genes (as in Lynch syndrome)
instabilitity of at least two microstellite markers
presentation renal cell carcinoma
painless hematuria
palpable abdominal mass
dull flank pain
polycythemia in 10% due to EPO production by tumor (paraneoplastic syndrome)
morphology papillary type renal cell carcinoma (2 types)
tumor cells line finger like projection into stroma
prominent nuclei
blood vessess + macrophages
papilalry type 1 - thin papillae, small cuboidal
paillary type 2 - thick papilae, abundeant cytoplasma
