Objective: Multilocular cystic renal cell carcinoma appears to be uncommon subtype of renal cell carcinoma with characteristic gross and microscopic features. This study reports the presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of multilocular cystic renal cell carcinoma, which is a rare entity and its true incidence and biologic behavior are not well known in Jordan. Methods: We have identified two c...

OBJECTIVES Our objective was to determine the incidence and outcomes of renal cell carcinoma and transitional cell carcinoma in recipients of renal allografts. MATERIALS AND METHODS We analyzed data from 2000 to 2012 in the Australia and New Zealand Dialysis and Transplant Registry, a binational population-based database, to identify the incidence and survival outcomes of renal transplant rec...

BACKGROUND Renal tumor is the 13th most common malignancy in the world and more than 90% of renal tumors are renal cell carcinomas. As there is no data available on renal cell carcinoma in Nepal, hence this study was undertaken to analyze the patterns of renal cell carcinoma in patients with renal mass at a tertiary level hospital in Nepal. OBJECTIVES To analyze the patterns of renal cell car...

INTRODUCTION Renal cell carcinoma with the distinct type of t(6;11)(p21;q12) translocation (transcription factor EB) is a rare neoplasm. In the present case study, we show for the first time an autophagy signature in a patient with transcription factor EB renal cell carcinoma. We attempted to characterize the mutational and expressional features of a t(6;11)(p21;q12) renal cell carcinoma, in an...

In human, proximal convoluted tubules and thin limbs of Henle show expression of αB crystallin. Renal cell carcinoma also showed expression of αB crystallin in previous reports. We aimed to study the association between αB crystallin expression and renal cell carcinoma and urothelial carcinoma. Furthermore, we also investigated αB crystallin expression depending on the subtype of renal cell car...

PATIENT Female, 72 FINAL DIAGNOSIS: Renal cell carcinoma Symptoms: - MEDICATION - Clinical Procedure: - Specialty: Oncology. OBJECTIVE Challenging differential diagnosis. BACKGROUND Lithium salts are widely used in the treatment of affective disorders of the bipolar type. Lithium is a nephrotoxic substance which can cause both acute and chronic renal disease, including cyst formation. Cys...

Abnormal serum lipid profiles are associated with the risk of some cancers, but the direction and magnitude of the association with renal cell carcinoma is unclear. We explore the relationship between serum lipids and renal cell carcinoma via a matched case-control study. A 1∶2-matched case-control study design was applied, where one renal cell carcinoma patient was matched to two non-renal-cel...

Clear cell renal cell carcinoma and papillary renal cell carcinoma are the most common types of renal tumors. However, coexistence of both tumors in the same kidney is a rare condition. We report a 56-year old male who was found to have ipsilateral synchronous clear cell and papillary renal cell carcinoma in the left kidney. Review of related literature is provided to estimate the prevalence of...

BACKGROUND Renal cell carcinoma metastasizing to rectum is very rare, and the unusual metastatic sites should be paid attention to during the follow-up of renal cell carcinoma. CASE SUMMARY We describe a case of a 65-year-old male who was diagnosed with metastatic renal cell carcinoma to rectum 10 years after the right radical nephrectomy. Histopathology and immunohistochemical examinations c...
