Papillary renal cell carcinoma
Papillary renal cell carcinoma, abbreviated PRCC, PaRCC and papillary RCC, is the second most common type of renal cell carcinoma.
General
- Historically, PaRCC was subclassified[1] into type 1 and type 2.
- Type 1 and Type 2 are different on a cytogenetic and molecular basis.[2]
Epidemiology
- Associated with acquired renal cystic disease.[3]
- May be familial - uncommon.[4]
- MET mutation[5] - autosomal dominant transmission, PaRCC type 1.
Gross
- Renal cortical mass usually >1.5 cm.
- May be multifocal. ‡
- Often necrotic appearing - light-to-dark brown, soft/mushy, friable.
Note:
- ‡ Approximately 10% of PaRCCs are multifocal (based on a set of 5378 patients);[6] it is the renal tumour that is most commonly multifocal.
Microscopic
Features:[7]
- Cuboidal or low columnar cell in papillae.
- Interstitial foam cells in vascular cores - key feature.
- Most sensitive and specific feature of PaRCC.[8]
- Highly vascular.
Size criterion:
- Papillary lesions with low ISUP grade must be >1.5 cm to be called carcinoma; smaller lesions (<=1.5 cm) with low ISUP grade are called papillary adenomas.[9][10] †
Mnemonic HIP: highly vascular, interstitial foam cells, papillae.
Note:
- † The diagnostic size cut-off in the 2004 WHO GU (blue) book was 0.5 cm.[9][11]
DDx:
- Clear cell RCC.
- Papillary: histiocytes, intracellular hemosiderin, CK7 +ve.
- Clear cell papillary renal cell carcinoma - apical nuclei, usu. no true papillae.
- Metanephric adenoma (esp. solid PaRCC type 1) - no histiocytes, WT-1 +ve.
- Collecting duct carcinoma - esp. PaRCC type 2.
- Urothelial carcinoma.
- Renal papillary adenoma - doesn't fulfill size criterion for PaRCC.
- Acquired cystic disease-associated renal cell carcinoma.
- Renal mucinous tubular and spindle cell carcinoma.
- Hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell carcinoma syndrome-associated renal cell carcinoma - for type 2 PaRCC; CK7 -ve, prominent eosinophilic nucleoli.
- ALK translocation renal cell carcinoma.
- Mixed epithelial and stromal tumour.[12]
- Papillary renal neoplasm with reverse polarity (PRNRP) - nuclei at luminal aspect of cell (rather than closer to the basement membrane).[13]
- May be considered a subtype of papillary renal cell carcinoma (rather than a distinct entity).
- Xp11 translocation renal cell carcinoma.

Histological subtyping
Historically, PaRCC was subtyped:[1][14]
- Type 1 - single layer of cells on basement membrane - most important.
- Usually low grade nuclear features, i.e. low ISUP nucleolar grade.
- Other characteristics:
- Clear cytoplasm.
- Foamy macrophages - common.
- Cells smaller.
- Type 2 - pseudostratification of cells - most important.
- Usually high grade nuclear features, i.e. high ISUP nucleolar grade.
- Other characteristics:
- Eosinophilic cytoplasm.
- Foamy macrophages - uncommon.
- Cells larger.
The WHO GU Blue Book 5th Ed. recommends against subtyping.
Another subtype:
- Oncocytic - oncocytic cytoplasm.
IHC
Features:[1]
- AMACR +ve.
- HMWCK (34betaE12) +ve.
- Panker (AE1/AE3) +ve.
- CK7 +ve ~90% of type 1, 20% of type 2.
- CD10 +ve.[18]
Others:
- GATA3 +ve - oncocytic variant of PaRCC; negative in other PaRCC subtypes.[19]
Type 1 versus Type 2:[20]
- CK7:
- Type 1 ~ 100%.
- Type 2 ~ 19%.
- CK19:
- Type 1 ~ 100%.
- Type 2 ~ 53%.
Metanephric adenoma vs. PaRCC type 1:[21]
- AMACR +ve.
- WT-1 -ve.
- CD57 -ve.
Molecular
Features:[22]
- Sporadic: trisomies 7, 16, 17.
- Familial: trisomy 7.
- Chromosome 7 = location of MET gene.
Note:
- Not used for diagnosis.[23]

Kidney Tumour, Left, Partial Nephrectomy: - PAPILLARY RENAL CELL CARCINOMA. -- Surgical margins NEGATIVE. -- ISUP nucleolar (Fuhrman) Grade 3. -- TNM stage: pT1a pNx. -- Please see tumour summary.
Block letters
KIDNEY, RIGHT, RADICAL NEPHRECTOMY: - PAPILLARY RENAL CELL CARCINOMA, WHO/ISUP NUCLEOLAR GRADE 3, pT2a(2), pNx. -- SURGICAL MARGINS NEGATIVE. -- PLEASE SEE TUMOUR SUMMARY. - RENAL PAPILLARY ADENOMAS.
Micro
The sections show a tumour in the kidney with fibrovascular cores (papillae) that focally contain macrophages. Psammoma bodies are present. Siderophages are present.
The papillae predominantly have a single layer of tumour cells and the cytoplasm of the tumour cells is predominantly clear.
Nucleoli are visible focally with the 10x objective (ISUP nucleolar grade 3).
A second tumour with the same morphology is present and measures 8 millimetres.
Multiple small lesions, like the largest tumour, less than 1.5 cm are present.
Oncocytic variant
KIDNEY, RIGHT, NEPHRECTOMY: - PAPILLARY RENAL CELL CARCINOMA, ONCOCYTIC -- SEE COMMENT; - WHO/ISUP GRADE 2; - SURGICAL MARGINS NEGATIVE; - PLEASE SEE TUMOUR SUMMARY. COMMENT: The oncocytic variant of papillary renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is uncommon and not widely recognized as a subtype of papillary RCC. The prognostic significance of the oncocytic cytoplasm is uncertain.[1] The histomorphology in this case is compatible with a type 1 papillary RCC. 1. Ann Diagn Pathol. 2006 Jun;10(3):133-9.
