Author: Mikael Häggström [note 1]

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.

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
