We report the case of a high-grade carcinoma involving the kidney in a young male with renal vein thrombosis and review the differential diagnosis and immunohistochemical workup. High-grade neoplasms involving the renal sinus include collecting duct carcinomas (CDCs), renal medullary carcinomas (RMCs), invasive high-grade urothelial carcinoma (UC) of the upper urinary tract, clear cell renal cell carcinoma, and type 2 papillary renal cell carcinoma. Distinguishing UC from CDC and RMC is problematic in small biopsy samples. The diagnosis of CDC (a rare, aggressive subtype of renal cell carcinoma) is challenging and requires the exclusion of UC. Renal medullary carcinoma is characterized by an appropriate clinical setting and consistent loss of nuclear expression of integrase interactor 1 (INI-1). A panel consisting of p63, paired box gene 8 (PAX8), and INI-1 is most optimal in distinguishing UC from CDC and RMC. A subset of urothelial carcinoma of upper urinary tract may be positive with PAX8.

Pathologic characteristics of extirpated renal cell carcinoma (RCC) specimens <7  cm were reviewed to get better information on technical nuances of renal mass biopsy (RMB). Specimens were stratified according to tumor stage, nuclear grade, size, histology, presence of lymphovas-cular invasion (LVI), necrosis, and sarcomatoid features. When considering pT1 (0–7 cm) tumors pT1b (4–7 cm), RCC masses were more likely to have necrosis (43% vs 16%, P < 0.001), LVI (6% vs 2%, P = 0.024), high-grade nuclear elements (29% vs 17%, P < 0.001), and sarcomatoid features (2% vs 0%, P = 0.006) compared with pT1a (0–4 cm) tumors. Additionally, pT3a tumors were more highly associated with necrosis (P = 0.005), LVI, sarcomatoid features, and high-grade disease (P for all < 0.001) when compared to pT1 masses. For masses <4 cm, pT3a cancers were more likely to demonstrate necrosis (38% vs 16%, P < 0.001), LVI (10% vs 2%, P = 0.037), high-grade nuclear elements (31% vs 17%, P = 0.05), and sarcomatoid features (3% vs 0%, P = 0.065) compared to pT1a tumors. Similarly, for masses 4–7 cm, pathologic T3a tumors were significantly more likely to have sarcomatoid features (16% vs 2%, P < 0.001) and LVI (28% vs 6%, P < 0.001) compared to pT1b tumors. In summary, pT3a tumors and those RCC masses >4 cm exhibit considerable histologic heterogeneity and may harbor elements that are not easily appreciated with limited renal sampling. Therefore, if RMB is considered for renal masses greater than 4 cm or those that abut sinus fat, a multi-quadrant biopsy approach is necessary to ensure adequate sampling and characterization of the mass.

Two sporadic cases of eosinophilic solid and cystic renal cell carcinoma (ESC RCC), at our institution, are presented in this study to contribute to the growing literature on this novel renal neoplasm. The first patient was a 38-year-old female with two synchronous renal masses measuring 3.5 and 1.9 cm on preoperative imaging. The second patient was a 44-year-old female with an incidental renal mass measuring 4 cm. Both patients underwent uncomplicated radical nephrectomies. The 1.9 cm mass in the first patient was consistent with clear cell RCC. The dominant mass in the first patient and the tumor in the second patient had microscopic and macroscopic findings in keeping with ESC RCC including a tan appearance, abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm, and CK20+ and CK7− staining. Both patients had an uncomplicated course following surgery with no evidence of local recurrence or distant metastatic disease for 1 and 2 years for the first and second patient accordingly. These cases contribute to a growing body of literature regarding ESC RCC including, to our knowledge, the first reported case of synchronous ESC RCC and clear cell RCC. Further research about this novel renal neoplasm is needed.

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and urothelial carcinoma of the upperurinary tract are not uncommon urological malignancies. Theirsimultaneous occurrence in a patient is, however, extraordinarilyrare. We report the case of a patient who underwent laparoscopicnephrectomy for suspected RCC. Preoperative imaging wassuspicious for renal pelvic involvement, which was confirmedupon bivalving the fresh specimen at the time of surgery, with thediscovery of a separate urothelium-based lesion. We discuss thisrare occurrence and our management approach.Individuellement, l’hypernéphrome et le carcinome urothélial desvoies urinaires supérieures ne sont pas des tumeurs urologiquesrares. Leur survenue simultanée chez un même patient est cependantextrêmement rare. La reconnaissance préopératoire ou intraopératoireest cruciale afin que soit effectuée la résection urétéralerequise. Nous décrivons un cas d’hypernéphrome et de carcinomeurothélial simultanés et homolatéraux.
