Presentations

Usually total nephrectomy.[1]

Gross processing

For orientation, the ureter stump points to the inferior pole.[1]

Components:[1]

  • Note the appearance of the renal surface
  • Inspect the capsule and pericapsular soft tissue, and possibly an accompanying adrenal gland
  • Measure kidney dimensions (and optionally weight)
  • Identify the surgical margin of the ureteral stump, renal vein and renal artery
  • In cases of a bulging tumor, apply ink to the surface of pericapsular fatty tissue by the tumor.
  • Dissect the ureteral stump
  • Split the kidney in the middle, in the coronal plane. Release the fibrous capsule. Dissect the renal pelvis and calyces. Inspect the parenchyma on cut surfaces.
  • Note and possibly measure the medullary thickness and the width of the renal pelvis
  • Note the appearance of any concretions
  • Note the location and size of the tumor, macroscopic appearance of cut surfaces, delimitation compared to surrounding structures, and relation to the fibrous capsule and perinephric tissues. If the fibrous capsule can be detached from the tumor surface, the inside of the capsule is examined where it was in contact with tumor, in order to detect any tumor overgrowth or breakthrough.

Slices for submission

Including:[1]

  • At least 3-4 pieces from the tumor, showing relationship to surrounding kidney tissue, renal capsule, perinephric tissues, renal pelvis, hilar adipose tissue and blood vessels.
  • Part of the fibrous capsule if being in contact with the tumor (oriented perpendicular to the capsular surface)
  • Margins of ureteral stump, renal vein and renal artery, and from hilus tissue (to detect possible tumor invasion of smaller blood vessels)
  • One slice of normal kidney tissue
  • Any detected lymph nodes in perihilar region
  • At least one slice from any included adrenal gland.
  • In case of cancer in the renal pelvis, at least three slices from the tumor-suspected area, including radicality slices from surrounding normal mucosa, and adjacent peripelvic fatty tissue. Take about 1 piece per cm2 from other parts of the renal pelvis, as well as a piece from the surgical edge of the ureteral stump.

Microscopic evaluation

Look for the most common tumors:

Renal carcinoma subtype Characteristic morphology[2] Positive immunohistochemistry[2] Image
Clear-cell RCC Clear cells in nests or solid pattern, delicate branching fibrovascular network Vimentin, EMA, keratin, CD 10, Pax2, RCC, CAIX (circumferential membranous) Histopathology of renal clear cell carcinoma.jpg
Papillary RCC I Papillary architecture, small-to-medium-sized cells, histiocytes in fibrovascular cores Vimentin, keratins, CK7, AMACR, RCC Histopathology of papillary renal cell carcinoma type 1.jpg
Papillary RCC 2 Papillary architecture, medium to large cell, pseudostratified nuclei Variable Histopathology of papillary renal cell carcinoma type 2.jpg
Clear-cell papillary RCC Clear cells in papillary, solid, or nested pattern, abluminal linear arrangement of nuclei CA-IX (basolateral membranous), HMWCK Histopathology of clear cell papillary renal cell carcinoma.jpg
Chromophobe Vegetable-like nuclei, raisnoid nuclei with perinuclear halos Ksp Cadherin, CD 1 17, EMA, keratins, CK7
Oncocytoma Small nests of cells, uniform small nuclei Ksp Cadherin, CD 1 17, EMA, keratins
CDC Infiltrating high-grade adenocarcinoma centered in the medulla, desmoplastic stroma EMA, CK7, HMWCK, Pax 2, Pax 8
MITF-RCC Clear and eosinophilic cells, voluminous cytoplasm, psammomatous calcifications (TFE3)
Biphasic tumors (TFEB) HMB-45, Melan A, Cathepsin K,TFE3/TFEB
FH-deficient RCC Variable, intracystic papillary pattern with prominent hyalinization and most frequent tubulocystic patterns Loss of FH (deficient), 2SC
SDH-deficient RCC Oncocytic cells with cytoplasmic vacuoles and inclusion-like spaces, neuroendocrine-like chromatin SDHB loss (deficient)
RMC High-grade adenocarcinoma, inflammatory, myxoid, or desmoplastic stroma, evidence of sickle cell trait/disease INI-I loss, Oct 1/4 positive

Report

The report should include:[1]

  • Total or partial nephrectomy
  • Tumor characteristics:
  • location
  • Size
  • Relationship to capsule, perinephric tissues, renal pelvis, adrenal gland and hilar blood vessels
  • Histological type
  • Degree of differentiation
  • Radicality
  • Any lymph node metastases
