=Renal translocation carcinomas= | |||
==Renal tumour with Xp11.2 translocation== | |||
===General=== | |||
*Defined by the presence of a fusion gene form with TFE3 @ Xp11.2. | |||
*TFE3 is the gene involved in the translocation seen in [[alveolar soft part sarcoma]] (ASPS). | |||
===Microscopic=== | |||
Features:<ref name=Ref_WMSP285>{{Ref WMSP|285}}</ref> | |||
*Large cells. | |||
*Clear or eosinophilic cytoplasm. | |||
*Papillae or nests. | |||
*[[Psammoma bodies]] - common. | |||
*[[Hyaline bodies]] - common. | |||
Notes: | |||
*Looks clear cell RCC ''or'' papillary RCC ''or'' a hybrid between the two. | |||
*May resemble [[ASPS]]. | |||

==Renal tumour with t(6;11) translocation== | |||
===General=== | |||
*Not common. | |||
*[[Lymph node metastases]] are common. | |||
===Microscopic=== | |||
Features: | |||
*Hyaline material between nests. | |||
