Massive hemoperitoneum due to spontaneous rupture of renal cell carcinoma is a rare presentation during emergency laparotomy. A 60-year-old female patient presented with severe abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and abdominal distension. A massive hemoperitoneum secondary to ruptured left kidney tumor was found during laparotomy. Histology confirmed a papillary renal cell carcinoma. Ruptured renal cell carcinoma can be a cause of bleeding into the retroperitoneum space. Emergency sonography and laparotomy are advocated for its management.

AbstractAdenomatosis is a rare lesion of unknown etiology, defined as multiple (usually 5 or more) adenomas in one kidney. A case of renal adenomatosis in a 68-year-old woman treated previously for urolithiasis, who underwent nephrectomy because of the nonfunctional left kidney is reported. Apart from multiple adenomas, numerous hyperplastic lesions involving single tubules were present in the resected kidney. Both adenomas and hyperplastic lesions exhibited the expression of alpha-methylacyl-coenzyme A racemase (AMACR). Renal adenomatosis is worth special attention, since renal papillary adenomas are suggested as precursor lesions of papillary renal cell carcinoma that show similar AMACR expression.

Although nephroblastoma is the commonest renal tumor of childhood, it is rare in adults. In cases of predominantly epithelial type occurring in adulthood, it might be difficult to distinguish it from papillary renal cell carcinoma and metanephric adenoma. Here, we report three cases of adult epithelial nephroblastoma in 24-, 76-, and 21-year-old females. Histologically, the tumors were composed of papillotubular architectures of small and uniform tumor cells with high nucleocytoplasmic ratio without blastemal element. Immunohistochemically, the tumor cells were positive for WT-1 and CD57 but negative for AMACR, which was helpful to exclude the possibility of papillary renal cell carcinoma. Metanephric adenoma is a benign tumor, which can be distinguished by the observation of the cellular atypism and growth pattern. However, nephroblastoma with predominant epithelial element mimics the malignant counterpart of metanephric adenoma, that is, “metanephric adenocarcinoma.”

A coexistence of different renal tumors has rarely been reported. The most commonly described association is of Wilms tumor and renal cell carcinoma. Metanephric adenofibroma has also been associated with Wilms tumor or papillary renal cell carcinoma. Another reported association is metanephric adenoma and papillary renal cell carcinoma with sarcomatoid dedifferentiation. Herein we describe a complex renal tumor containing areas of metanephric adenofibroma, Wilms tumor, and undifferentiated renal cell carcinoma in a previously healthy 18-year-old boy. The tumor showed histologic and immunohistochemical features of these 3 different tumors, offering additional support to the view that these 3 tumors are related.

Background. Mucinous tubular and spindle cell carcinoma (MTSCC) is a rare type of renal cell carcinoma, whose clinical behaviour and metastatic potential have not been fully elucidated to date. There are only a few metastatic cases in the literature, which all either featured sarcomatoid differentiation or were synchronously metastasised at diagnosis. Case Presentation. We report a case of a 49-year-old male with end-stage kidney disease on dialysis, presenting with multiple osseous metastases of a mucin-poor variant of MTSCC of the kidney, without sarcomatoid differentiation, two years after bilateral nephrectomy for papillary renal cell carcinoma (RCC) at a curable stage. After retrospectively reexamining the initial nephrectomy specimens, the tumour of the right kidney was also diagnosed as a mucin-poor variant of MTSCC, while the tumour of the left kidney was confirmed as a papillary RCC. Conclusions. It is proposed that MTSCC can be associated with end-stage renal disease and that particularly the mucin-poor variant is easily confused with papillary renal cell carcinoma, as happened in this case. Although it is considered as a relatively indolent malign entity, it can metastasise even years after successful primary surgical treatment. This implies, besides accurate diagnosis, that MTSCC patients should be monitored closely in the follow-up period.

We present the case of a 73-year-old woman who presented with lethargy and a nonproductive cough. Computerised tomography of her abdomen revealed a 38-mm mass in the lower pole of her left kidney. She underwent a partial nephrectomy, with final histopathological analysis confirming the presence of a concomitant oncocytoma and papillary cell carcinoma. To our knowledge, this is the only case report in the world literature describing a papillary renal cell carcinoma within an oncocytoma treated by partial nephrectomy.

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) represents a heterogeneous disease, encompassing an increasing number of tumor subtypes. Post-2016, the World Health Organization (WHO) classification recognized that the spectrum of papillary renal cell carcinoma is evolving and has long surpassed the dichotomic simplistic “type 1 versus type 2” classification. The differential diagnosis of pRCC includes several new provisional/emerging entities with papillary growth. Type 2 tumors have been cleared out of several confounding entities, now regarded as independent tumors with specific clinical and molecular backgrounds. In this work we describe the prevalence and characteristics of emerging papillary tumor entities in two renal tumor cohorts (one consisting of consecutive papillary tumors from a single institute, the other consisting of consultation cases from several centers). After a review of 154 consecutive pRCC cases, 58% remained type 1 pRCC, and 34% type 2 pRCC. Papillary renal neoplasm with reversed polarity (1.3%), biphasic hyalinizing psammomatous RCC (1.3%), and biphasic squamoid/alveolar RCC (4.5%) were rare. Among 281 consultation cases, 121 (43%) tumors had a dominant papillary growth (most frequently MiT family translocation RCCs, mucinous tubular and spindle cell carcinoma and clear cell papillary RCC). Our data confirm that the spectrum of RCCs with papillary growth represents a major diagnostical challenge, frequently requiring a second expert opinion. Papillary renal neoplasm with reversed polarity, biphasic hyalinizing psammomatous RCC, and biphasic squamoid/alveolar RCC are rarely sent out for a second opinion, but correct classification and knowledge of these variants will improve our understanding of the clinical behavior of renal tumors with papillary growth.

The occurrence of synchronous pancreatic cancer and other primary cancer is not frequent and reaches about 5.6% as reported in autoptic studies. Double resections of the pancreas with another organ due to synchronous malignancies have been published only in quite sporadic sets of cases or individual case reports. We present a case report of a 40 years lady who presented with intermittent pain, fever and jaundice for 15 days. Examination revealed a palpable gall bladder, firm in consistency and tender to touch. She was admitted with a provisional diagnosis of cholangitis and started on intravenous antibiotics. Patient’s clinical condition improved and she was planned for a CECT and MRCP which revealed an heterogenously enhancing mass lesion in upper pole of left kidney, s/o of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and an enhancing lesion in periampullary region s/o periampullary carcinoma with no evidence of free fluid or metastasis. ERCP guided biopsy revealed moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma and USG guided renal biopsy revealed clear cell carcinoma. Whipple’s procedure with left nephrectomy was performed. Intra operative findings revealed post-operative course and hospital stay was uneventful. Biopsy revealed poorly differentiated pancreaticobiliary adenocarcinoma with no lympho vascular or lymph nodal invasion (pT3aN0) and left sided clear cell renal carcinoma with no lympho vascular invasion (pT1N0). Synchronous malignancy of pancreas and kidney is a very rare presentation. Literature describes presence of RCC with periampullary metastasis and patients presenting with RCC post whipple’s procedure but only a handful of case reports describe presence of dual malignancy as reported above.
