Multilocular cystic renal cell carcinoma, abbreviated MCRCC, is a rare kidney tumour.
It is also known as multilocular clear cell renal cell carcinoma.[1]
General
- No recurrences or metastasis in the literature.[2]
- This makes one wonder... is it really cancer.
- Case report rare.[3]
Gross
Features:[2]
- Cystic with thin septa.
- Well circumscribed.
Note:
- This tumour, radiologically, can often be separated from other cystic tumours.[4]
Microscopic
Features:[2]
- Polygonal cells within the septa.
- Clear cytoplasm.
- +/-Calcification (common).
DDx:
- Cystic renal disease with macrophages in the septa.
- Cystic clear cell renal cell carcinoma.
- Tubulocystic carcinoma.
IHC
- EMA +ve.
- Keratins +ve.
- CD68 -ve.
