'''Kidney tumours''' - includes '''malignant kidney tumours''' and '''benign kidney tumours'''.  Medical renal diseases are dealt with in the [[medical renal diseases]] article.
[[Image:Renal oncocytoma.jpg|thumb|250px|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.


==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===
*Smoking.
*Some chemicals.
*Hemodialysis.
*Male>female (~2:1).
*Hereditary - familial syndromes (see [[Hereditary RCC]]).
 
===Subtypes===
RCC (renal cell carcinoma) comes in different subtypes:<ref name=Ref_PBoD1016>{{Ref PBoD|1016}}</ref>
*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).

==Hereditary RCC==
===Common DDx===
The classics - which are ''all'' autosomal dominant:<ref name=Ref_PBoD1016>{{Ref PBoD|1016}}</ref>
====Spindle cell tumours====
# [[Von Hippel-Lindau syndrome]] (clear cell tumours).  
Malignant spindle cell tumours of the kidney:
# Hereditary clear cell carcinoma (VHL gene).  
*[[Renal cell carcinoma with sarcomatoid differentiation]].
# Hereditary papillary carcinoma (MET proto-oncogene mutation).
*[[Renal mucinous tubular and spindle cell carcinoma]].
*[[Wilms tumour]].
*[[Renal cell carcinoma, unclassified]].
 
Benign spindle cell tumours of the kidney:
*[[Angiomyolipoma]].
*[[Cystic nephroma]].


Others:
====Renal tumours with eosinophilic cytoplasm====
* Hereditary papillary carcinoma (TFE3 related translocations).<ref>URL: [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/omim/314310 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/omim/314310]. Accessed on: 16 June 2010.</ref>

==Grading==
=WHO classification of renal neoplasia=
===General===
*Based on 2004 iteration - as per WMSP, slightly modified.<ref>{{Ref WMSP|291}}</ref> Online, the classification can [http://www.urosource.com/fileadmin/user_upload/european_urology/PIIS0302283805008316.pdf found here].
Some subtypes are graded based on the '''Fuhrman system''' which considers:<ref name=Ref_GUP282>{{Ref GUP|282}}</ref>
===Renal cell tumours===
*Nuclear pleomorphism (size, shape),
Common:
*Chromatin pattern,
*[[Clear cell renal cell carcinoma]].
*Nucleoli prominence.
*[[Papillary renal cell carcinoma]].
*[[Renal papillary adenoma|Papillary adenoma]].
*[[Chromophobe renal cell carcinoma]].
*[[Renal oncocytoma|Oncocytoma]].


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>
Less common:
*[[Multilocular clear cell renal cell carcinoma]].
*[[Carcinoma of the collecting ducts of Bellini]].
*[[Renal cell carcinoma, unclassified]].
*[[Renal medullary carcinoma]].
*[[Renal tumour with Xp11.2 translocation|Xp11 translocation carcinoma]].
*[[Mucinous tubular and spindle cell carcinoma]].
*Carcinoma associated with neuroblastoma.


===Criteria & grades===
===Metanephric tumours===
*Grade 1: no nucleoli, near 'normal' appearance.
*[[Metanephric adenoma]].
*Grade 2: finely granular chromatin (key feature), no nuclei visible with 10x objective lens.
*[[Metanephric stromal tumour]].
*Grade 3: nucleoli seen easily (key feature).
*[[Metanephric adenofibroma]].
*Grade 4: prominent pleomorphism (key feature), hyperchromasia, macronucleoli.
Note: Most tumours are grade 2 & 3.


===Fuhrman grading in short===
===Nephroblastic tumours===
*1 vs. 2: grade 2 has granular chromatin, grade 2 has nucleoli visible @ 20x objective.<ref>AE. June 2010.</ref>
