tumors and anomalies Flashcards
classic triad of renal cell carcinoma
hematuria
pain
flank mass
4 types of renal tumors
renal adenocarcinoma (renal cell carcinoma)
embryonal tumor (nephroblastoma- wilms tumor)
mesenchymal tumors
tumor like conditions
bilateral percentage
0.5-1.5%
multiple tumors
4.5%
types of renal cell carcinoma
clear cell
papillary adenocarcinoma
chromophobe
other
clear cell carcinoma
80% highly vascular (massive hem) full of neutral (yellow lipids glycogen) that dissolves on prep
pap adenocarcinoma
10%
micropapillae protrude
foam celsl in walls
chromophobe
mosaic of pale cytoplasm and thick walls near capillaries
sarcomatoid differentiation
potential outcome of any RCC that represnts a very aggressive stage with poor px
cells spindled but epithelial (+ keratin)
what is the difference between carcinoma and adenoma
adenoma is smaller (<2-3 cm) therefore less malignant mostly papillary (and thus slow growing)
nephroblastoma is found primarily in
kids
clinical presentation of nephroblastoma
palpable mass
hypertension
pain
path of nephroblastoma
blastema cells, epithelial cells, stromal cells all in different ratios
what does thsi tumor persist from
metanephric blastema
two growth patterns of urothelial lined tumors
papillary (verticle) or carcinoma (flat)
