Abstract

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) in which clear cells with papillary architecture are present is a difficult diagnostic challenge. Clear cell RCC, rarely has papillary architecture. Papillary RCC rarely contains clear cells. However, two recently described types; clear cell papillary and Xp11 translocation RCC characteristically feature both papillary and clear cells. Accurate diagnosis has both prognostic and therapeutic implications. This study aims to highlight the helpful features of each of these entities to enable reproducible classification. Sixty RCC cases with clear cells and papillary architecture were selected and classified according to The International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP) Vancouver Classification of Renal Neoplasia and graded according to The International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP) grading system for renal cell carcinoma then stained for CK7, carbonic anhydrase IX (CA IX), α-methylacyl-CoA-racemase (AMACR) and TFE-3. The characteristic immunoprofile of Clear RCC is CK7-, AMACR-, CA IX+ and TFE3-, papillary RCC is CK7+, AMACR+, CAIX- and TFE3-, while for clear cell papillary RCC it is CK7+, AMACR-, CAIX+ and TFE3- and lastly Xp11 translocation RCC is CK7-, AMACR+, CAIX- and TFE3+.
