Kidney and Bladder Neoplasm Flashcards
“fall foliage” kidney tumor
renal adenocarcinoma appearance - due to vascularity and hemorrhage in the neoplasm
most common type of kidney tumor
renal adenocarcinoma
four types of renal adenocarcinoma
- clear cell carcinoma 2. granular cell carcinoma 3. papillary tumors 4. sarcomatoid tumors
what is this?
clear cell carcinoma, kidney
describe granular cell carcinoma
eosinophilic cytoplasm w/ granular texture (b/c lots of mitochondria and other cytoplasmic organelles)
what is this?
papillary adenocarcinoma
what is this?
sarcomatoid carcinoma
spindle cell morphology
Nephroblastoma/Wilm’s tumor - who gets it?
Prognosis?
common in children 2-4yrs
prognosis = favorable. anaplastic histology = bad. worse prognosis for older children
pathology of nephroblastoma/Wilm’s tumor
large w/ fleshy, lobulated appearance - palpated on PE
undifferentiated cells
anaplastic Wilm’s: atypical nuclei w/ prominent nucleoli and mitotic activity = worse prognosis
what is this
stromal cells in nephroblastoma
schistosomiasis causes what type of neoplasm?
transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder
field change concept
type or degree of histological change in the urothelium adjacent to or remote from a clinically detected tumor
renal cell carcinoma presentation
hematuria, pain, flank mass
systemic signs (fever, anemia, hepatic dysfunction, amyloidosis)
paraneoplastic syndromes
best predictor of renal cell carcinoma
stage (metastasis?)
natural hx of renal cell carcinoma
unpredictable
spontaneous regression (rare)
common locations of metastatic spread: lungs, bones
