Kidney tumours - includes malignant kidney tumours and benign kidney tumours. Medical renal diseases are dealt with in the medical renal diseases article.
Pediatric kidney tumours are dealt with in the pediatric kidney tumours article.
Renal specimens
- Renal biopsy - usually for renal onocytoma vs. renal cell carcinoma (RCC) or medical diseases - see medical kidney.
- Partial nephrectomy.
- Nephrectomy.
- Nephroureterectomy (includes ureter) - done for urothelial cell carcinoma (UCC) of the renal pelvis and ureteric UCC.
- Radical nephrectomy - includes Gerota's fascia.
- May include the adrenal gland.[1]
In excisions done for tumours, a comment should be made about kidney distant from the tumour. People with less renal mass, i.e. less kidney, are predisposed to focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS).
Anatomy
The anatomy is important for properly staging renal neoplasms.
Layers (superficial to deep):
- Renal fascia (Gerota's fascia).
- Perinephric fat.
- Renal capsule.
- Renal parenchyma (cortex).

Renal cell carcinoma
Overview
General
- Relatively common form of cancer.
- Often abbreviated RCC.
- AKA hypernephroma.[6]
- RCC represents approx. 90% of malignancies in kidneys of adults.[7]
Origin
- Proximal renal tubule.
Clinical
- Classically described as a triad:[8]
- Hematuria (most common symptom).
- Abdominal mass.
- Flank pain.
- Frequently picked-up on imaging (incidentaloma) ~ 1/3 of cases.
Risk factors
- Smoking - most important.[7]
- Chemical exposures (arsenic, asbestos, cadmium, organic solvents, pesticides, fungal toxins).[7]
- Chronic renal failure.
- Male>female (~2:1).
- Hereditary - familial syndromes (see Hereditary RCC).
Subtypes of RCC
RCC (renal cell carcinoma) comes in different subtypes:[9]
- Clear cell carcinoma (70-80% of RCC) -- abbrev. CCRCC,
- Papillary renal cell carcinoma (10-15% of RCC) -- abbrev. PRCC,
- Chromophobe renal carcinoma (5% of RCC) -- abbrev. ChRCC,
- Collecting duct (Bellini duct) carcinoma (1% of RCC).
Notes:
- Subtype is an independent predictor of mortality - but adds very little to multivariate models with staging information.[10]
- CCRCC tends to be worse than ChRCC and PRCC, probably due to higher incidence of mets.[11]
- The exam answer (worst to best): clear cell RCC, papillary RCC, chromophobe RCC.
IHC - is it RCC?
- RCC Ma (+), CD10 (+) -- specific for RCC[12]
IHC - differentiation of types
- Clear cell RCC vs. papillary RCC:
- CK7 (-ve CCRCC), AMACR (+ve in PRCC).[13]
- Papillary RCC type 1 vs. papillary RCC type 2:
- ChRCC vs. oncocytoma (ONC):
- CK7 (ChRCC +ve membrane), CK20, CD15.[13]
- CK7 -- ChRCC 86% +ve vs. ONC 0% +ve.[15]
- CD15 -- ChRCC 11% +ve vs. ONC 57% +ve.[16]
- Hale's colloidal iron +ve in ChRCC, usually neg. in ONC.[17]
- PAX2 -- ChRCC (1/11) +ve vs. ONC (20/23) +ve.[18]
- Kidney-specific cadherin (Ksp-cadherin) -- ChRCC 97% +ve (distinctive membrane pattern) vs. ONC only 3% +ve.[19]
- ChRCC & renal oncocytoma vs. others:
- CD117 (ckit) +ve (100% membrane, ~75% cytoplasmic).[20]
- Clear cell RCC vs. chromophobe RCC:
- Hale's colloidal iron (+ve in ChRCC).[17]
- CK7 (cell membrane +ve in ChRCC).
Notes:
- One paper[21] describes CD10, parvalbumin, AMACR, CK7 and S100A1 as being useful.
- Another paper I came across:[22]
- c-kit (CD117) not useful for differentiating ONC and ChRCC.[18]
- E-cadherin not useful for differentiating ChRCC and ONC.[23]
RCC vs. Urothelial cell carcinoma
Main article: Urothelium
- Clinically/radiologically, it may not be possible to differentiate renal pelvis UCC and RCC if the tumour is large.
- Pathologically, this is not very difficult.
- On gross specimens, it is almost always obvious what one is dealing with:
Renal cell carcinoma with sarcomatoid differentiation
- AKA sarcomatoid renal cell carcinoma.
General
Features:[24]
- Not recognized as a distinct entity in 2004 WHO classification.[25]
- Tend to present at higher stage.
- Worse prognosis when adjusted for stage.
Microscopic
Features:[24]
- Renal cell carcinoma.
- Sarcomatoid component:
- Fibrosarcoma - most common.
- Undifferentiated - common.
- Rhabdomyosarcoma - very rare.
Hereditary renal cell carcinoma
The classics - which are all autosomal dominant:[9]
- Von Hippel-Lindau syndrome.
- VHL gene mutation.
- Clear cell RCC.
- Hereditary clear cell carcinoma.
- VHL gene mutation.
- Hereditary papillary carcinoma
- MET proto-oncogene mutation.
- PaRCC type 1.[27]
- Hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer:[27]
- FH (fumarate hydratase) gene mutation.[28]
- PaRCC type 2.
- Benign leiomyomas skin/uterus.
- Uterine leiomyosarcoma.
- Birt–Hogg–Dubé syndrome:[27]
- FLCN (folliculin) gene mutation.[29]
- Skin lesions (fibrofolliculoma, trichodiscoma, acrochordon).
- ChRCC most common, other types seen (e.g. oncocytoma).
- Variable penetrance (autosomal dominant).
Others:
- Hereditary papillary carcinoma (TFE3 related translocations).[30]
Notes:
- A total of ten hereditary renal cancer syndromes have been described. In eight of the ten the gene is known.[31]
Molecular
Recurrent molecular changes in RCC:
- Clear cell RCC:
- Loss of 3p - contains the VHL gene.
- Papillary RCC:
- Sporadic:
- Trisomy 7, 16, 17.
- Loss of Y.
- Familial:
- Trisomy 7 - contains MET gene.[32]
- Sporadic:
Grading RCC
General
Some subtypes are graded based on the Fuhrman system which considers:[33]
- Nuclear pleomorphism (size, shape).
- Chromatin pattern.
- Nucleoli prominence.
Notes:
- The system was validated for clear cell RCC.
- Fuhrman nuclear grade is not prognostic in chromophobe RCC and should not be used in that context.[34]
Criteria & grades
- Grade 1: no nucleoli, near 'normal' appearance.
- Grade 2: finely granular chromatin (key feature), no nuclei visible with 10x objective lens.
- Grade 3: nucleoli seen easily (key feature).
- Grade 4: prominent pleomorphism (key feature), hyperchromasia, macronucleoli.
Note: Most tumours are grade 2 & 3.
Fuhrman grading in short
- 1 vs. 2: grade 2 has granular chromatin, grade 2 has nucleoli visible @ 20x objective.[35]
- 2 vs. 3: grade 3 has nucleoli @ 10x objective.
- 3 vs. 4: grade 4 has pleomorphism/hyperchromasia.
Clear cell renal cell carcinoma

Note: Hale's colloidal iron does not stain iron... it stains hemosiderin.[40] Clear cell vs. chromophobe:
- Chromophobe: "translucent" (NOT quite clear), reticulated, Hale's colloidal iron stain+, CK7+ (cell membrane).
Sign out
KIDNEY, LEFT, NEPHRECTOMY: - CLEAR CELL RENAL CELL CARCINOMA, pT1a, MARGINS NEGATIVE FOR MALIGNANCY. - PLEASE SEE TUMOUR SUMMARY.
Note:
- The surgeon wants the diagnosis and margin status; thus, these are included in the diagnosis line with the tumour stage.
Micro
The sections show a tumour with a chicken wire-like vasculature composed of clear cells with basally stratified nuclei. Hemosiderin-laden macrophages are present. Necrosis is present. Abundant hyaline globules are present.
There is no perinuclear clearing. The cytoplasm is not whispy. Collections of macrophages are not identified within the stroma of the tumour. Papillae are not evident.
Rare, small nucleoli are visible with the 10x objective. The tumour nuclei are approximately 15 micrometers.
