The Chromophobe Renal Cell Carcinoma with Sarcomatoid Differentiation

Chromophobe Renal Cell Carcinoma with Sarcomatoid Differentiation

We report chromophobe renal cell carcinoma (CRCC) with sarcomatoid dedifferentiation in a sixty-five year old male. CRCC is a prognostically better, distinctive subtype of renal cell carcinoma (RCC), histologically characterized by cells containing translucent and reticulated cytoplasm with distinct cell borders. Sarcomatoid component accompanies 9% of CRCC which alters its prognostic implicati...

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...
