'''[[Kidney]] tumours''' - includes '''malignant kidney tumours''' ('''kidney cancer''') and '''benign kidney tumours'''.  Medical renal diseases are dealt with in the [[medical renal diseases]] article.


==Renal specimens==
Pediatric kidney tumours are dealt with in the ''[[pediatric kidney tumours]]'' article.
*Renal biopsy - usually of medical disease (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 the [[adrenal gland]]).


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).<ref>NEED REF.</ref>

==Renal cell carcinoma==
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).
===General===
*Relatively common form of cancer.
*Often abbreviated '''RCC'''.
 
===Origin===
*Proximal renal tubule.
 
===Clinical===
*Classically described as a triad:<ref name=schmid>{{cite journal |author=Schmid HP, Szabo J |title=[Renal cell carcinoma--a current review] |language=German |journal=Praxis (Bern 1994) |volume=86 |issue=20 |pages=837?3 |year=1997 |month=May |pmid=9312811 |doi= |url=}}</ref>
**Hematuria (most common symptom).
**Abdominal mass.
**Flank pain.
*Frequently picked-up on imaging (incidentaloma) ~ 1/3 of cases.


===Risk factors===
==Anatomy==
*Smoking.
Layers (superficial to deep):
*Some chemicals.
#Renal fascia (Gerota's fascia).
*Hemodialysis.
#Perinephric fat.
*Male>female (~2:1).
#Renal capsule.  
*Hereditary - familial syndromes (see [[Hereditary RCC]]).
#Renal parenchyma (cortex).


===Subtypes===
===Sign out===
RCC (renal cell carcinoma) comes in different subtypes:<ref name=Ref_PBoD1016>{{Ref PBoD|1016}}</ref>
====Missed renal biopsy====
*Clear cell carcinoma (70-80% of RCC) -- abbrev. CCRCC,
{{Main|Missed renal biopsy}}
*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).

====Spindle cell tumours====
Malignant spindle cell tumours of the kidney:
*[[Renal cell carcinoma with sarcomatoid differentiation]].
*[[Renal mucinous tubular and spindle cell carcinoma]].
*[[Wilms tumour]].
*[[Renal cell carcinoma, unclassified]].


==Grading==
Benign spindle cell tumours of the kidney:
===General===
*[[Angiomyolipoma]].
Some subtypes are graded based on the '''Fuhrman system''' which considers:<ref name=Ref_GUP282>{{Ref GUP|282}}</ref>
*[[Cystic nephroma]].
*Nuclear pleomorphism (size, shape),
*Chromatin pattern,
*Nucleoli prominence.


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.<ref name=pmid1949485>{{cite journal |author=Brovkina AF, Val'skii VV |title=[Computer tomography in the diagnosis of intraocular melanomas] |language=Russian |journal=Vestn Oftalmol |volume=107 |issue=4 |pages=39–42 |year=1991 |pmid=1949485 |doi= |url=}}</ref>
====Renal tumours with eosinophilic cytoplasm====
{{Main|Renal tumours with eosinophilic cytoplasm}}


===Criteria & grades===

===Subtypes of RCC===
Features:<ref name=Ref_GUP289>{{Ref GUP|289}}</ref>
RCC (renal cell carcinoma) comes in different subtypes:<ref name=Ref_PBoD1016>{{Ref PBoD|1016}}</ref>
*AMACR +ve.<ref>ALS Feb 9, 2009.</ref>
*Clear cell carcinoma (70-80% of RCC) -- abbrev. CCRCC.
*HMWCK (34betaE12) +ve.
*Papillary renal cell carcinoma (10-15% of RCC) -- abbrev. PRCC.
*Panker (AE1/AE3) +ve.
*Chromophobe renal carcinoma (5% of RCC) -- abbrev. ChRCC.  
*CK7 +ve ~90% of type 1, 20% of type 2.
*Collecting duct (Bellini duct) carcinoma (1% of RCC).

A kidney tumour (renal oncocytoma). (WC/Emmanuelm)

Kidney tumours - includes malignant kidney tumours (kidney cancer) 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

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

Layers (superficial to deep):

  1. Renal fascia (Gerota's fascia).
  2. Perinephric fat.
  3. Renal capsule.
  4. Renal parenchyma (cortex).

Renal cell carcinoma

Overview

General

  • Relatively common form of cancer.
  • Often abbreviated RCC.
  • AKA hypernephroma.[7]
  • RCC represents approx. 90% of malignancies in kidneys of adults.[8]

Origin

  • Proximal renal tubule.

Clinical

  • Classically described as a triad:[9]
    • Hematuria (most common symptom).
    • Abdominal mass.
    • Flank pain.
  • Frequently picked-up on imaging (incidentaloma) ~ 1/3 of cases.

Risk factors

Subtypes of RCC

RCC (renal cell carcinoma) comes in different subtypes:[11]

  • 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.[12]
  • CCRCC tends to be worse than ChRCC and PRCC, probably due to higher incidence of mets.[13]
  • The exam answer (worst to best): clear cell RCC, papillary RCC, chromophobe RCC.

IHC - is it RCC?

  • RCC Ma (+), CD10 (+) -- specific for RCC[14]

IHC - differentiation of types

  • Clear cell RCC vs. papillary RCC:
    • CK7 (-ve CCRCC), AMACR (+ve in PRCC).[15]
  • Papillary RCC type 1 vs. papillary RCC type 2:
    • E-cadherin +ve in PRCC type 2.[16]
    • EMA (MUC1) +ve in PRCC type 1.[16]
  • ChRCC vs. oncocytoma (ONC):
    • CK7 (ChRCC +ve membrane), CK20, CD15.[15]
    • CK7 -- ChRCC 86% +ve vs. ONC 0% +ve.[17]
    • CD15 -- ChRCC 11% +ve vs. ONC 57% +ve.[18]
    • Hale's colloidal iron +ve in ChRCC, usually neg. in ONC.[19]
    • PAX2 -- ChRCC (1/11) +ve vs. ONC (20/23) +ve.[20]
    • Kidney-specific cadherin (Ksp-cadherin) -- ChRCC 97% +ve (distinctive membrane pattern) vs. ONC only 3% +ve.[21]
  • ChRCC & renal oncocytoma vs. others:
    • CD117 (ckit) +ve (100% membrane, ~75% cytoplasmic).[22]
  • Clear cell RCC vs. chromophobe RCC:
    • Hale's colloidal iron (+ve in ChRCC).[19]
    • CK7 (cell membrane +ve in ChRCC).

Notes:

  • One paper[23] describes CD10, parvalbumin, AMACR, CK7 and S100A1 as being useful.
  • Another paper I came across:[24]
  • c-kit (CD117) not useful for differentiating ONC and ChRCC.[20]
  • E-cadherin not useful for differentiating ChRCC and ONC.[25]

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
