KIDNEY, RIGHT, NEPHRECTOMY:
- PAPILLARY RENAL CELL CARCINOMA, ONCOCYTIC -- SEE COMMENT;
- FUHRMANN GRADE 2;
- SURGICAL MARGINS NEGATIVE;
- PLEASE SEE TUMOUR SUMMARY.
COMMENT:
The oncocytic variant of papillary renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is uncommon and not widely
recognized as subtype of papillary RCC.  The prognostic significance of the oncocytic
cytoplasm is uncertain.[1]  The histomorphology in this case is compatible with a type 1
papillary RCC.
