AbstractMultilocular cystic renal cell carcinoma (MCRCC) is an uncommon low- grade tumor with unique morphologic features and excellent prognosis. Currently it is classified as subtype of clear cell renal cell carcinoma. We report a case of multilocular cystic renal cell carcinoma presented with right renal mass. Computed tomography showed heterogeneously enhancing partly cystic mass lesion in right kidney. Patient underwent right nephrectomy. Microscopic features were suggestive of multilocular cystic renal cell carcinoma. Patient is doing well with no evidence of recurrence.

Context.— Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC) has a rich, sinusoid-like vascularity frequently used as a diagnostic criterion. CCRCC with predominantly vascular architecture has not been described. Objective.— To describe 4 unusual CCRCC cases, primarily presenting with hemangioma-like morphologic pattern. Design.— Clinicopathologic and selected immunohistochemical analysis of 4 cases of CCRCC mimicking hemangioma. Results.— Cases were seen in 1 woman and 3 men (average age, 48.8 years; range, 40–66 years). Grossly, tumors were red-brown (3 of 4) with scant bright-yellow foci in 1. The average tumor size was 4 cm (range, 2.5–5.5 cm). Microscopically, all were composed of varying proportions of a rich, arborizing, sinusoid-like vasculature with focal hobnail appearance of endothelial cells. Entrapment of renal tubules between blood vessels was seen at the periphery of the tumors. This morphology was reminiscent of anastomosing hemangioma. Isolated tumor cells resembling lymphocytes with clear halos were sparsely interspersed between vessels. Cytokeratin immunostain confirmed the diagnosis of CCRCC. Conclusion.— Extensive sampling and immunohistochemical workup of what is deemed to be a benign vascular neoplasm of the kidney is needed to rule out the presence of individual carcinoma cells or small viable carcinoma cell clusters.
