A CASE OF XANTHOGRANULOMATOUS PYELONEPHRITIS ASSOCIATED WITH CHROMOPHOBE RENAL CELL CARCINOMA

Sarcomatoid Transrormation of Chromophobe Renal Cell Carcinoma

Renal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Presented With Bone Metastasis and Coexistence With Xanthogranulomatous Pyelonephritis: A Case Report

Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the kidney is a rare entity. Coexistence of SCC with xanthogranulomatous pyelonephrits is exceedingly rare with only few reports in the literature. We report a case of a 45-year-old male patient with xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis coexistence with renal SCC in one kidney, which proved radiologically and histopathologically. The patient presented to the medic...

Sarcomatoid Chromophobe Renal Cell Carcinoma with Heterologous Component

Clear cellrenal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common malignant renal tumor in adults, while chromophobe RCC (CRCC) is the third most common. Any subtypes of RCC can undergo sarcomatoid differentiation, but heterologous differentiation in sarcomatoid area is very rare in RCC. Here a61-year male is presented with hematuria and palpable mass. Clinicoradiologically, RCC was considered and left r...

Chromophobe renal cell carcinoma with osseous metaplasia: a case report.

A 60-year-old Japanese male with a chromophobe cell carcinoma of his left kidney is reported. The tumor, 18 x 27 mm in size, was incidentally found by abdominal ultrasonography. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a well-demarcated solid tumor arising from the lower pole of the left kidney. Histopathological examination of the surgically removed tumor revealed that i...

Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis mimicking a renal cell carcinoma: a unique and challenging case

We describe an unusual case of xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis (XGPN) in a 73-year-old woman diagnosed after a blunt abdominal trauma. This case is unique because of the atypical presentation, with absence of symptoms, normal laboratory exams, and unusual computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging findings. The patient underwent radical nephrectomy because a renal cystic tumor was su...
