SMARCB1-deficient renal medullary carcinoma
Renal medullary carcinoma, abbreviated RMC, is a rare malignant kidney tumour associated with sickle cell trait and a poor prognosis.

General
- Rare.
- Usually young adults.
- Associated with sickle cell trait (heterozygotes for the sickle cell allele)[1] or sickle cell disease.[2]
- Aggressive/poor prognosis.[3]
- Closely related to collecting duct carcinoma.[4]
- May be related to the proposed ALK translocation renal cell carcinoma.[5][6]
Aside:
- Kidney disease associated with sickle cell disorders:[1]
- Papillary necrosis.
- Nephrotic syndrome.
- Renal infarction.
- Pyelonephritis.
Gross
Features:[3]
- Well circumscribed.
- Renal medulla.
Microscopic
- Variable architecture:
- Reticular - classic.
- Adenoid cystic carcinoma-like appearance:
- Cystic spaces.
- Yolk sac-like.
- Tubular.
- Desmoplastic stroma - prominent.
- Inflammation:
- Lymphocytes.
- Neutrophils - margination in vessels.
