Papillary renal cell carcinoma, abbreviated PRCC, PaRCC and papillary RCC, is the second most common type of renal cell carcinoma.

|---|---|
| Diagnosis in short | |
 Papillary renal cell carcinoma. H&E stain. | |
|
| |
| LM | cuboidal or low columnar cells (simple or pseudostratified) on papillae, interstitial foam cells in the vascular cores |
| Subtypes | type 1, type 2, eosinophilic variant |
| LM DDx | clear cell renal cell carcinoma, clear cell papillary renal cell carcinoma, metanephric adenoma (esp. solid PRCC type 1), collecting duct carcinoma (esp. PRCC type 2), renal papillary adenoma |
| Gross | may be multifocal, must be >0.5 cm (otherwise renal papillary adenoma) |
| Site | kidney - see kidney tumours |
|
| |
| Associated Dx | acquired renal cystic disease (end-stage renal disease) |
| Prevalence | relatively common |
| Clin. DDx | other kidney tumours |
General
- Often subclassified[1] into type 1 and type 2 -- see microscopic.
- 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.
Microscopic
Features:[4]
- Cuboidal or low columnar cell in papillae.
- Interstitial foam cells in vascular cores - key feature.[5]
- Most sensitive and specific feature of PRCC.[6]
- Highly vascular.
Size criterion:
- Papillary lesions must be >0.5 cm to be called carcinoma; smaller lesions (<=0.5 cm) are called papillary adenomas.[7]
Mnemonic HIP: highly vascular, interstitial foam cells, papillae.
DDx:
- Clear cell RCC.
- Papillary: +histiocytes, +intracellular hemosiderin, CK7+.
- Clear cell papillary renal cell carcinoma.
- Metanephric adenoma - esp. solid PRCC type 1.
- Collecting duct carcinoma - esp. PRCC type 2.
- Renal papillary adenoma.

PaRCC - intermed. mag. (WC/Nephron)
PaRCC - high mag. (WC/Nephron)
Histological subtyping
Subtypes:[1]
- Type 1 - single layer of cells on basement membrane.
- usually low grade nuclear features, i.e. low Fuhrman grade.
- Type 2 - pseudostratification of cells.
- Usually high grade nuclear features, i.e. high Fuhrman grade.
Others:
- Oncocytic - oncocytic cytoplasm.
- Extremely rare ~ largest series is 12 cases.[8]
IHC
Features:[1]
- AMACR +ve.[9]
- HMWCK (34betaE12) +ve.
- Panker (AE1/AE3) +ve.
- CK7 +ve ~90% of type 1, 20% of type 2.

Molecular
Features:[10]
- Sporadic: trisomies 7, 16, 17.
- Familial: trisomy 7.
- Chromosome 7 = location of MET gene.
Note:
- Not used for diagnosis.[11]

KIDNEY, RIGHT, NEPHRECTOMY: - PAPILLARY RENAL CELL CARCINOMA, ONCOCYTIC -- SEE COMMENT; - FUHRMANN 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.
