other name for conventional RCC

A

clear cell RCC

33
Q

VHL syndrome charact

A

hemangioblastomas of cerebellum and retina, liver+pancreas+renal cysts, clear cell RCC

34
Q

typical syndrome where get conventional or clear cell RCC

A

VHL syndrome

35
Q

presentation of kidney CA

A

asymptomatic 90%

10% hematuria, CVA pain, palpable mass (all three together)

36
Q

classic triad of kidney CA presentation (10% of the time)

A

hematuria, CVA pain, palpable mass

37
Q

other presentations for kidney CA

paraneoplastic, general symptoms (fever, weight loss)

38
Q

one word to describe clear cell RCC macro

A

heterogenous (bc solid mixed with cystic, hemorrhagic, necrotic, lipidic and yellow, brown and hemorrhagic)

39
Q

two things on clear cell RCC micro

A

clusters of malignant cells with distinct membranes + network of capillaries between them

40
Q

Fuhrman grading and which is bad

A

1 to 4 grading for nuclear atypia.

3-4 is bad. 3 is prominent nucleoli

papillary RCC derived from what cells

A

PCT, DCT, CD cells

42
Q

charact of papillary RCC + who gets it most commonly

A

Q

papillary RCC macro

A

no yellow. encapsulated. mainly hemorrhagic

44
Q

papillary RCC micro

A

papillary structures lined by malignant tubular cells

45
Q

papillary RCC type 1 vs type 2

A

1: 1 layer of cubidal cells
