Type 1 PRCC, also known as a renal tumor caused by a genetic predisposition of hereditary papillary renal cancer syndrome, compromises approximately 25% of all PRCCs. [14] [15] In the perspective of immunochemistry, it has a profile of strong CK7 and alpha-methyl acyl-CoA racemase (AMACR) expression at most focal CA-IX expression. [16]
Collecting duct carcinoma (CDC) is a type of kidney cancer that originates in the papillary duct of the kidney. It is rare, accounting for 1-3% of all kidney cancers. [ 2 ] It is also recently described; a 2002 review found just 40 case reports worldwide. [ 3 ]
The renal cell carcinoma tends to be of the papillary (type 2) form and tends to occur more commonly in women than men with this syndrome. These cancers present earlier than is usual for renal cell carcinomas (typically in the twenties and thirties) and tend to be at relatively advanced stages at presentation.
Psammoma bodies are commonly seen in certain tumors such as: Papillary thyroid carcinoma [2]; Papillary renal cell carcinoma [3]; Ovarian papillary serous cystadenoma and cystadenocarcinoma [4]
Metanephric adenoma (MA) is a rare, benign tumour of the kidney, that can have a microscopic appearance similar to a nephroblastoma (Wilms tumours), [1] or a papillary renal cell carcinoma. It should not be confused with the pathologically unrelated, yet similar sounding, mesonephric adenoma .
Clear cell papillary renal cell carcinoma (CCPRCC) is a rare subtype of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) that has microscopic morphologic features of papillary renal cell carcinoma and clear cell renal cell carcinoma, yet is pathologically distinct based on molecular changes and immunohistochemistry.
Kidney cancer, also known as renal cancer, is a group of cancers that starts in the kidney. [4] Symptoms may include blood in the urine, a lump in the abdomen, or back pain. [1] [2] [3] Fever, weight loss, and tiredness may also occur. [1] [2] [3] Complications can include spread to the lungs or brain. [6]
Individuals with renal papillary necrosis due to excess use of analgesic have an elevated risk of epithelial tumors, hence a urine cytology exam is useful. [8] In terms of imaging this condition can be identified by retrograde pyelography (RGP). [9] The diagnosis of renal papillary necrosis is therefore done via: [10]
