Hematuria (TOPNOTCH)
RCC morphology: pale eosinophilic cells, often with a perinuclear halo, arranged in solid sheets with a concentration of the largest cells around the blood vessels
Chromophobe RCC (TOPNOTCH)
RCC morphology: rounder or polygonal shape and have abundant clear or granular cytoplasm with stains with glycogen and lipid
Clear Cell RCC (TOPNOTCH)
RCC morphology: arise from DCT and are typically hemorrhagic and cystic
Papillary RCC (TOPNOTCH)
RCC morphology: irregular channels lined by highly atypical epithelium with a hobnail pattern.
Collecting Duct Carcinoma (TOPNOTCH)
RCC morphology: Interstitial foam cells and psamomma bodies
