Even if the histology favors the diagnosis, it is generally appropriate to perform confirmatory '''[[immunohistochemistry]]''':
*PAX-2 (typically positive), TTF-1 and thyroglobulin (typically negative) to confirm renal rather than a metastatic [[papillary thyroid carcinoma]].
*CK-7 and P504S/AMACR (both typically positive) to confirm the histologic type versus [[clear cell papillary]] and [[clear cell renal cell carcinoma]].
