چکیده
This case report describes a 75 year old man who had a renal papillary carcinoma associated with a low grade tumour of the collecting ducts. These tumours showed diVerent immunohistochemical patterns for epithelial membrane antigen, cytokeratin 19, and Ulex europaeus lectin expression. In addition, cytogenetic findings were 47, XY, +7 <7> and 45, XY, −8, add(12)(q–ter)<10> for the papillary renal carcinoma and the low grade tumour of the collecting ducts, respectively. This is the first report where these two types of tumour are associated and cytogenetically distinguished. (J Clin Pathol 2001;54:637–639)

Association of a renal papillary carcinoma with a low grade tumour of the collecting ducts.
This case report describes a 75 year old man who had a renal papillary carcinoma associated with a low grade tumour of the collecting ducts. These tumours showed different immunohistochemical patterns for epithelial membrane antigen, cytokeratin 19, and Ulex europaeus lectin expression. In addition, cytogenetic findings were 47, XY, +7 <7> and 45, XY, -8, add(12)(q-ter)<10> for the papillary re...
متن کاملImmunohistochemical Comparison of p53 Expression, Intensity and Distribution in Different Papillary Urothelial Cancers
Background: Given the importance of differential diagnosis of different papillary urothelial cancers, expression, intensity and distribution of p53 were evaluated in different bladder cancers using immunohistochemistry. Materials and Methods: In a retrospective study, archived samples of patients with different papillary urothelial cancers in Shohaday-e-Khalij Fars Hospital were selected. The s...
متن کاملQuick Score and H-Score Assessment of P504s (AMACR) Expression in Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) and Relation with Histologic Grade
Background and Aims: P504S (AMACR) is a mitochondrial enzyme expressed in renal cell carcinoma. Some of immunohistochemical markers in renal cell tumors are independent prognostic factor and show relation with histologic grading. AMACR expression increases with higher histological grading in different tumors; however, in RCC it is not obvious. In this study, we tried to investigate if ...
متن کاملHigh-Grade Urothelial Carcinoma of Bladder Transforming to Micropapillary Variant on Follow-Up
Micropapillary variant of urothelial carcinoma (UC) of the bladder is an aggressive tumour, comprising 0.6-6% of all UC. It generally presents with high-grade and stage, and has been reported as having a worse prognosis when compared to traditional UC. We report the case of a 58-year-old man who presented with macroscopic haematuria. The patient was diagnosed with high-grade urothelial carcinom...
متن کاملPapillary renal cell carcinoma and collecting duct carcinoma combination. A case report and review of synchronous renal cell carcinoma subtypes in the same kidney
Collecting duct carcinoma (CDC), also known as Bellini duct carcino-ma, is a rare neoplasm comprising less than 1% of renal epithelial tumors [1]. Collecting duct carcinoma is an aggressive neoplasm and is thought to arise from the collecting ducts of renal medulla [2]. Papillary renal cell carcinoma (PRCC) comprises 10% of renal cell carcinomas (RCC) and has distinct cytogenetic and molecular ...
