Low-grade eosinophilic unclassified renal cell carcinoma, a recently proposed entity in the spectrum of eosinophilic renal cells tumors: Report of one case and discussion

Low-grade eosinophilic unclassified renal cell carcinoma is a rare kidney tumor recently described, not included in the WHO classification, which is very close to oncocytoma. It is unknown to most pathologists and clinicians. From a histopathological point of view, this tumor is composed of oncocyti...

Zusammenfassung:Low-grade eosinophilic unclassified renal cell carcinoma is a rare kidney tumor recently described, not included in the WHO classification, which is very close to oncocytoma. It is unknown to most pathologists and clinicians. From a histopathological point of view, this tumor is composed of oncocytic cells arranged in a diffuse and solid pattern, without cell nests, that makes it possible to differentiate it from oncocytoma, and expresses cytokeratin 7 (CK7) heterogeneously. We report a case with a cranial vault metastasis, and present the features to differentiate this entity from oncocytoma. Furthemore, we discuss about unclassified renal cell carcinomas with oncocytic cells.
