Renal mucinous tubular and spindle cell carcinoma, abbreviated RMTSCC or MTSCC, is a rare malignant epithelial neoplasm of the kidney.

It is also known as renal mucinous tubular spindle cell carcinoma and mucinous tubular and spindle cell carcinoma of the kidney.[1]

General

  • Rare[2] - largest reported series (published in 2015) has 19 cases.[3]
  • Accepted by WHO in 2004 as a separate entity.[4]
  • Relatively good prognosis.
    • In a series of 19 patients: one died, one developed mets, one recurred (post-ablation) and was salvaged by surgery, one observed... remaining 15 cured by surgery or ablation.[3]

Gross

Features:[5]

  • Solid.
  • Greyish-yellow or tan-yellow.
  • Well-circumscribed.

Note:

Microscopic

Features:[6]

  • Mucin - may be scant.
    • Often within foamy macrophages.
  • Spindle cells - key feature.
    • Often seen only focally.
  • Small tubules - lined by cuboidal epithelium.[5]

Left Kidney, Partial Nephrectomy:
- RENAL MUCINOUS TUBULAR AND SPINDLE CELL CARCINOMA (RMTSCC).
-- Margins clear.
-- ISUP nucleolar grade 2.
-- TNM stage: pT1a pNx.
-- Please see tumour summary.

Comment:
The stains are as follows:
POSITIVE: CK7, AMACR, AE1/AE3, mucicarmine.
NEGATIVE: WT-1, CD56, CD57, CD10, CD68.

Notes:

  • The (bland) spindle areas are not sarcomatoid as per the synoptic report.

Micro

The tumour consists of small cells with mild pleomorphism and mild-to-moderate cytoplasm. A tubular architecture is predominant and mucin is present. Focal spindled areas are also seen.
