چکیده
OBJECTIVES To evaluate interobserver reproducibility of a grading system proposed by Paner et al. for chromophobe renal cell carcinoma. MATERIAL AND METHODS After selecting 23 cases of chromophobe renal cell carcinoma from the Xeral-Cíes Hospital, Meixoeiro Hospital and POVISA Hospital from the last 15 years, an informative meeting on the Paner et al. grading system criteria was held. After, the participating pathologists applied the system to each case, evaluating one slide selected. Kappa index for interobserver reproducibility was calculated, and it was classified according to the Landis and Koch scale. RESULTS The grading distribution was similar for most of the 6 participating observers, with grade 1 predominance. The remaining 2 observers considered a relatively higher proportion of grade 2. Kappa index values ranged from 0.136 to 0.674, with a discrete-moderate reproducibility index predominance (0.21-0.60). Highest Kappa value (0.674) was obtained between the most novel and the most expert interobservers. The lowest Kappa value was obtained among the most veteran pathologists (0.136). CONCLUSIONS Interobserver reproducibility for chromophobe renal cell carcinoma is discrete-moderate in our institutions when the novel grade proposed by Paner et al. is used. Labeling of grades 1 and 2 is not homogeneous among 6 participating observers. While awaiting a grading consensus on a new classification by the scientific societies, we consider that the routine use of a grading system for chromophobe renal cell carcinoma should not be used.

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...

The image shows a chromophobe RCC that is a FNG 3 and the revised CTG 1 Impact of the new grading system on clinical outcome Several studies have shown the lack of prognostic utility of Fuhrman nuclear grade in chromophobe RCCs. Some even advocate not grading chromophobe RCCs due to the inaccuracy of the current FNG system in this tumor subtype. In fact, approximately 80% of all chromophobe RCC...

PURPOSE The chromophobe subtype of renal cell carcinoma (chRCC) has generally been associated with a better prognosis than the clear cell type; however, debate continues as to absolute prognosis as well as the significance of certain prognostic variables. We investigated the significance of pathologic stage and a recently proposed chromophobe tumor grading (CTG) scheme in predicting chRCC outco...
متن کاملA novel grading system for clear cell renal cell carcinoma incorporating tumor necrosis.
Grading of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) has prognostic significance, and there is recent consensus by the International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP) that for clear cell and papillary RCC, grading should primarily be based on nucleolar prominence. Microscopic tumor necrosis also predicts outcome independent of tumor grading. This study was undertaken to assess whether the incorporation o...
