Tubulocystic carcinoma of the kidney
Diagnosis in short

Tubulocystic renal cell carcinoma. H&E stain.

Synonyms low-grade collecting duct carcinoma, tubulocystic renal cell carcinoma

LM cysts of variable size lined by a single layer of epithelium that has a cuboidal, flat, or hobnail morphology, eosinophilic cytoplasm, large nuclei with prominent nucleoli, +/-fibrotic stroma
LM DDx papillary renal cell carcinoma - especially oncocytic variant, renal oncocytoma, cystic nephroma/mixed epithelial and stromal tumour, multilocular cystic renal cell carcinoma
IHC CD10 +ve, RCC +ve, vimentin +ve, AMACR +ve
Gross multicystic lesion (bubble wrap-like appearance)
Site kidney

Clinical history typically male
Prevalence very rare
Prognosis good

Tubulocystic carcinoma of the kidney, abbreviated TCCK, is a very rare kidney tumour.

It is also known as low-grade collecting duct carcinoma.[1]

In the Vancouver modification of the WHO classification of renal neoplasia, it is refered to as tubulocystic renal cell carcinoma (abbreviated TC-RCC).[2]

It should not be confused with collecting duct carcinoma, a very aggressive renal tumour.

General

Gross

  • Bubble wrap-like appearance - due to the cystic nature.[1][4]

Microscopic

Features:.[1]

  • Cysts of variable size lined by a single layer of epithelium that has a:
    • Cuboidal, flat, or hobnail morphology.
    • Eosinophilic cytoplasm.
    • Large nuclei with prominent nucleoli.
  • +/-Fibrotic stroma.

DDx:

IHC

Features:[6]

  • CD10 +ve.
  • RCC +ve.
  • Vimentin +ve.
  • AMACR +ve.
  • CK7 -ve/+ve (focally in 2/3 tumours[7]).
