MORPHOLOGICAL SPECTRUM OF MALIGNANT RENAL TUMOURS IN DIFFERENT AGE GROUPS - CASE SERIES AND REVIEW OF LITERATURE

Karpagam Janardhan, Radhika S, Periyasamy

Abstract :

Renal tumours have acquired a new face in the recent times due to the expanding list of new entities. Renal cell carcinoma are classified based on their architectural features (eg: papillary RCC ), cytoplasmic features (eg: clear cell and chromophobe renal cell carcinomas RCCs), anatomic location of tumours (eg: collecting duct and renal medullary carcinomas), and background in which they arise (eg: acquired cystic disease associated RCCs) , based on molecular changes (eg: MiT family translocation carcinomas and succinate dehydrogenase [SDH]–deficient renal carcinomas) or familial predisposition syndromes (eg: hereditary leiomyomatosis and RCC [HLRCC] syndrome–associated RCC). This article provides an insight into the various new entities and difficulties encountered in the diagnosis.
