KIDNEY (LESION), LEFT, CORE BIOPSY:
- RENAL PARENCHYMA.
- NEGATIVE FOR MASS LESION, SEE COMMENT.
 
COMMENT:
No mass lesion is apparent in the tissue sampled. A re-biopsy should be considered.
 
Renal parenchyma:
- Glomeruli: seven glomeruli sampled, no apparent glomerular pathology on the H&E sections.
- Interstitium: interstitial fibrosis is not identified.
- Tubules: no pathology is apparent.
- Vessels: mild atherosclerosis, no hyalinization of arterioles apparent.

Some RCC subtypes are graded based on the '''Fuhrman system''' which considers:<ref name=Ref_GUP282>{{Ref GUP|282}}</ref>
*Nuclear pleomorphism (size, shape).
*Chromatin pattern.
*Nucleoli prominence.
 
Notes:
*The system was validated for [[clear cell RCC]].

*Anything with [[spindle cell]]s<ref name=pmid15763002/> or rhabdoid cells should make one think grade 4, as it is likely a ''[[renal cell carcinoma with sarcomatoid differentiation]]''.


===Criteria & grades===
==Renal cell carcinoma staging==
*Grade 1: no nucleoli, near 'normal' appearance.
{{Main|Kidney cancer staging}}
*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]].
**[[Spindle cell]]s<ref name=pmid15763002/> or rhabdoid cells also make something grade 4 (see ''[[renal cell carcinoma with sarcomatoid differentiation]]'').


Note:
===Renal sinus invasion===
*Most tumours are grade 2 & 3.
{{Main|Kidney cancer staging}}
===Fuhrman grading in short===
*1 vs. 2: grade 2 has granular chromatin, grade 2 has nucleoli visible @ 20x objective.<ref>AE. June 2010.</ref>
