Abstract INTRODUCTION: Papillary renal cell carcinoma is a rare cancer and is the second most frequent histologic type among all renal cell carcinoma, accounting for up to 15%. Patients with type 1 PRCC are diagnosed at a lower stage and present a lower nuclear grade compared to type 2.CASE PRESENTATION: A 72-year-old man underwent a right radical nephrectomy 7 years ago for a 10 cm mesorenal mass with a final histopathological diagnosis of a papillary renal cell carcinoma type 1 pT2a with negative surgical margins.Five years after the surgery, computed tomography (CT) scan imaging showed the presence of multiple masses suspicious for node recurrences disease localized in the renal lodge, in the inter-aorto-caval space, at the iliac vessel bifurcation and right common iliac vessels. Patient underwent a robotic retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy. The operative time was 114 min, estimated blood loss 200 ml; length of hospital stay 4 days. The abdominal drainage was removed at first post-operative day. No perioperative complications. The removed lesions confirmed on histopathological examination the recurrence of type I papillary renal cancer at: renal lodge, inter-aorto-caval space, iliac bifurcation, common iliac lymph nodes. No further recurrences on surveillance imaging 24 months after his procedure.DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: We present the first description of minimally invasive surgical excision for a papillary type I renal cancer nodal recurrence and renal fossa recurrence.Our present study shows that patients treated with surgical excision for isolated RPLN recurrences may afford select patient durable cancer control.The robotic approach can be offered as an effective modality of treatment in this rare case of type I papillary renal cancer metastases.The extent of resection, as well as the optimal integration of surgery and systemic therapy, remain to be determined in this setting.

Abstract Papillary renal cell carcinoma (PRCC) is a rare cancer and is the second most frequent histologic type among all renal cell carcinoma, accounting for up to 15%. A 72-year-old man underwent a right radical nephrectomy 7 years ago with final histopathology diagnosis of type 1 PRCC with negative surgical margins. Five years after surgery, computed tomography scan imaging showed the presence of multiple masses suspicious for node recurrences disease localized in the renal lodge, in the inter-aorto-caval space, at the iliac vessels bifurcation and right common iliac vessels. Patient underwent a robotic retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy. The histopathological examination confirmed the recurrence of type I papillary renal cancer in all the specimens. No further recurrences have been observed at 24-month follow-up after surgery. This report is the first describing a robot-assisted minimally invasive surgical excision for type I papillary renal cancer nodal and renal fossa recurrences.

The incidence of renal cell carcinomas in adults ranges has been increasing over the past decades in both men and women. Once the incidence was 2.9%, now is reported to have increased to 3%–5% with male predominance according to the most recent reports of cancer statistics. The disease typically describes a group of different histopathological subtypes; the most common is clear cell carcinoma which accounts for 70%–80% of the diagnosed cases, while papillary renal cell carcinoma and chromophobe types represent 20% and 5%, respectively. In 1996, the renal cell carcinomas Heidelberg classification was introduced by Delahunt et al. It divides renal cell tumors into benign and malignant parenchymal neoplasms, excluding Wilm’s tumor and secondary metastases and limiting each subcategory to the most commonly documented genetic abnormalities, if applicable. In this report, we discuss a case of metastatic type I papillary renal cell carcinoma treated with the anti-vascular endothelial growth factor receptor sunitinib and showing marked long-term clinical response. Through this case, we highlight the importance of re-classifying papillary renal cell carcinoma subtypes to prioritize the clinical management of these cases.

AbstractThe study aimed to compare the clinicopathological features and prognosis between type I and type II papillary renal cell carcinoma (PRCC) and to investigate whether the subtypes of PRCC would affect oncological outcomes. A total of 102 patients with PRCC were recruited, of which 42 were type I PRCC and 60 type II. The clinicopathological features and oncologic outcomes of the patients were evaluated. The type II cases had a higher WHO/ISUP grading (P < 0.001), T (P = 0.003), N (P = 0.010) stage and stage grouping (P = 0.011) than the type I. During a median follow-up period of 61.4 months, 1-year cancer specific survival (CSS) of the type I was 100%, 5-year CSS was 95.2%, the 1-year CSS of the type II was 96.2%, and 5-year CSS was 75.7%. The univariate analysis showed that subtype, symptoms, TNM, stage grouping, WHO/ISUP grading and surgical methods appeared to affect prognosis of the patients with PRCC. However, multivariate analysis revealed that only stage grouping was the independent risk factor. After the stage grouping factor was adjusted for the analysis, there were no statistically significant differences in CSS (P = 0.214) and PFS (P = 0.190) between the localized type I and type II PRCC groups. Compared with type I PRCC, type II had higher pathological T, N stage and WHO/ISUP grading. However, it was the Stage grouping that made a great difference to oncological outcomes, rather than the subtype of PRCC.

4503 Background: Despite the moderate incidence of papillary renal cell carcinoma (PRCC), there is a disproportionately limited understanding of its underlying genetic programs. There is no effective therapy for metastatic PRCC, and patients are often excluded from kidney cancer trials. A morphological classification of PRCC into Type 1 and Type 2 tumors has been recently proposed, but its biological relevance remains uncertain. Methods: We studied the gene expression profiles of 34 cases of PRCC using Affymetrix HGU133 Plus 2.0 arrays (54,675 probe sets) using both unsupervised and supervised analysis. Comparative genomic microarray analysis (CGMA) was used to infer cytogenetic aberrations, and pathways were ranked with a curated database. Expression of selected genes was validated by immunohistochemistry in 34 samples, with 15 independent tumors. Results: We identified two highly distinct molecular PRCC subclasses with morphologic correlation. The first class, with excellent survival, corresponded to three histological subtypes: Type 1, low-grade Type 2 and mixed Type 1/low-grade Type 2 tumors. The second class, with poor survival, corresponded to high-grade Type 2 tumors (n = 11). Dysregulation of G1/S and G2/M checkpoint genes were found in Class 1 and Class 2 tumors respectively, alongside characteristic chromosomal aberrations. We identified a 7-transcript predictor that classified samples on cross-validation with 97% accuracy. Immunohistochemistry confirmed high expression of cytokeratin 7 in Class 1 tumors, and of topoisomerase IIα in Class 2 tumors. Conclusions: We report two molecular subclasses of PRCC, which are biologically and clinically distinct, which may be readily distinguished in a clinical setting. This may also have therapeutic implications. No significant financial relationships to disclose.
