adults
small
cortical foci of tubular/papillary epithelium
renal adenoma
well circumscribed
yellow-grey
soft
formed of BV, smooth muscle,adipose tissues
angiomyolipoma
well circumscribed
large
brown
central stellate star
formed of eosinophilic epithelial cells w uniform rounded nuclei
oncocytoma

epithelial cells of renal tubules
adult male
smoker
possible exposure to cadmium
painless hematuria
flank pain
lung & bone manifestations
anemia, fever, weightloss
HTN

RCC
GROSS picture of RCC (5)
1-well delineated mass
centered in cortex
2-yellow-golden cut surface
3-Hg
4-necrosis
5-cystic changes
MICRO: clear RCC (6)
1-arranged in solid masses/cords
tubules
2-dilated cysts w/ papillary formation
3-large cells w/ clear cytoplasm
4-scanty vascular stroma
5-Hg
6-necrosis
cells in RCC have clear cytoplasm due to
accumulation of glycogen & fat
polycythemia in RCC is due to
production of erythropoietic stimulating substance
hypercalcemia in RCC is due to
production of PTH-like substance
gynecomastia in RCC is due to
production of gonadotropin & placental lactogen production
genetic mutation associated w/ clear RCC
VHL disease
early extension in RCC
to renal pelvis
late extension in RCC
to renal capsule
most common sites of metastasis in RCC
lungs
bones (pelvis & femur)
CNS
suprarenals
blood spread in RCC is due to
renal vein invasion
left renal vein invasion in RCC can lead to
varicoceles on left side
lymphatic spread in RCC to
lumbar LNs
genetic mutations associated w/ papillary RCC
MET proto-oncogene mutation
bilateral
multifocal
bad prognosis
branching papillae
cells w/ large nuclei & little cytoplasm
psamomma bodies
papillary RCC
large cells
clear halo
↑mitochondria
granular eosinophilic cytoplasm
prominent cell membranes
multiple losses of chromosomes
Chromophobe RCC
children 2-5 years
rapidly growing
large abdominal mass
