Tubulocystic carcinoma of the kidney
Diagnosis in short

Tubulocystic renal cell carcinoma. H&E stain.
Synonyms low-grade collecting duct carcinoma, tubulocystic renal cell carcinoma
LM cysts of variable size lined by a single layer of epithelium that has a cuboidal, flat, or hobnail morphology, eosinophilic cytoplasm, large nuclei with prominent nucleoli, +/-fibrotic stroma
LM DDx papillary renal cell carcinoma - especially oncocytic variant, renal oncocytoma, cystic nephroma/mixed epithelial and stromal tumour, multilocular cystic renal cell carcinoma
IHC CD10 +ve, RCC +ve, vimentin +ve, AMACR +ve
Gross multicystic lesion (bubble wrap-like appearance)
Grossing notes total nephrectomy for tumour grossing, partial nephrectomy grossing
Staging kidney cancer staging
Site kidney
Clinical history typically male
Prevalence very rare
Prognosis good

Tubulocystic carcinoma of the kidney, abbreviated TCCK, is a very rare kidney tumour.

In the Vancouver modification of the WHO classification of renal neoplasia, it is refered to as tubulocystic renal cell carcinoma (abbreviated TC-RCC).[1]

It is also known as low-grade collecting duct carcinoma.[2]

It should not be confused with collecting duct carcinoma, a very aggressive renal tumour.

General

Gross

  • Bubble wrap-like appearance - due to the cystic nature.[2][4]

Microscopic

Features:.[2]

  • Cysts of variable size lined by a single layer of epithelium that has a:
    • Cuboidal, flat, or hobnail morphology.
    • Eosinophilic cytoplasm.
    • Large nuclei with prominent nucleoli.
  • +/-Fibrotic stroma.
