Biphasic hyalinizing psammomatous renal cell carcinoma, abbreviated BHP RCC, is a rare type of renal cell carcinoma with mutations in neurofibromin 2.[1]

General

  • Evolving entity.
  • Very rare.
  • Prevalence: male > female.

Microscopic

Features:[1]

  • Biphasic cytomorphology:
    1. Small cells.
    2. Large cells.
  • Hyaline stroma.
  • Psammoma bodies.
