Question
Answer
Wilms Tumor   Pediatric tumor compromised of embryonal nephrogenis elements  
🗑
Wilms Tumor Triphasic Neoplasm   3 possible tissue types Blastema: small densely packed cells with little cytoplasm Epithelium: abortive tubules and glomeruli Stroma: spindle cells  
🗑
Wilms Tumor Clinical   98% before 10, peak 1-3 85% of pediatric renal neoplasms Lung metastases are common  
🗑
Wilms Tumor Rules of 5's   Accounts for ~5% of kid cancers 5% bilateral 5% multicentric 5% anaplastic- worse prognosis  
🗑
Wilms Tumor Typical Clinical Presentation   Abdominal mass Abdominal pain Intestinal obstruction Hematuria  
🗑
Wilms Tumor Prognosis   Poor Px if anaplastic, age >2, large size 80-90% overall cure rate  
🗑
Wilms Tumor Treatment   Nephectomy plus chemotherapy Second neoplasms can occur form chemo  
🗑
Wilms Tumor Pathogenesis   Loss/mutation of tumor suppressor genes on chromosome 11 WT1: regulates transcription of growth-promoting genes WT2: also interacts with growth promoting factors  
🗑
Congenital Mesoblastic Nephroma   Tumor compromised of spindled cells with varying resemblance to immature tissues from mesoderm Most common renal tumor of infancy (only 2% or pediatric neoplasms)  
🗑
Congential Mesoblastic Nephroma   5-10% recur or metastasize by 1 y/o Metastases are rare: lungs, brain, rarely bone Tx: resection with wide margins  
🗑
Adult Renal Neoplasms   Majority show histogenesis from epithelial components  
🗑
Benign Adult Renal Neoplasms   Papillary adenoma -Importance of size of neoplasm Renal oncocytoma Angiomyolipoma  
🗑
Renal papillary adenoma   Tumor size distinguishes papillary adenoma form carcinoma <5mm = adenoma >5mm = carcinoma  
🗑
Renal papillary adenoma Clinical   Most common renal tubular epithelial neoplasm found in ~33% of cases of acquired cystic renal disease  
🗑
Renal papillary adenoma Morphologic features   Well circumscribed, nonencapsulated Generally subcapsular  
🗑
Renal Oncocytoma Clinical   Accounts for ~5% of restricted renal neoplasms M:F = 2:1 median age 60-65 No recorded deaths from metastases Central scar within lesion  
🗑
Renal Oncocytoma Pathology   Well circumscribed tan/yellow/mahogany brown Central stellate scar (~1/3) Typically solitary Avg size = 6cm  
🗑
Angiomyolipoma   Mesenchymal tumor ~1% of renal neoplasms Although benign, fatality may result from: Massive hemorrhage Renal failure from loss of parenchyma  
🗑
Angiomyolipoma Associated with hereditary disorders   Tuberous sclerosis von Recklinhausen disease von-Hippel Lindau syndrome Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease  
🗑
Angiomyolipoma Pathology   Usually solitary Multifocality suggests tuberous sclerosis LM: mature adipose, spindled cells w/smooth muscle features, thick walled blood vessels  
🗑
Angimyolipoma Pathology (cont)   May involve veins and regional lymph nodes -probably indicative of multifocal growth, NOT metastases May coexist with other renal neoplasms  
🗑
Malignant Renal Neoplasms (Adults) Renal cell carcinoma   The most common malignant renal neoplasm in adults Clear cell RCC is the most common type  
🗑
Malignant Renal Neoplasms (Adults) Urothelial carcinoma (Transitional cell carcinoma)   Involves the collecting system Caylces and Pelvis  
🗑
Renal Cell Carcinoma General   ~85% of diagnosed renal cancers in adults 2/3 are men, 1% are bilateral Bilaterally strongly suggestive of underlying syndrome Risk factors: tobacco  
🗑
Renal Cell Carcinoma Clinical symptoms   Classic Triad - flank pain - palpable mass - hematuria* Only seen in 10% of cases  
🗑
Renal Cell Carcinoma Metastases   ~25% of the time, metastases at time of Dx Typically metastases to lung, bone, lymph nodes, adrenals, liver, brain  
🗑
Renal Cell Carcinoma Prognosis   Occasionally regress w/o Tx Overall 5 year survival=70% Tumor stage and nuclear grade most important Px factors  
🗑
Renal Cell Carcinoma Treatment   Surgical resection - extent depends upon location and extent of disease Chemotherapy minimally effective  
🗑
Renal Cell Carcinoma Clear cell RCC   Conventional/classic type Accounts for ~70% of adult renal cancers VHL gene-mutation at this locus seen in >90% of cases  
🗑
Clear Cell RCC VHL gene   VHL gene acts as a tumor suppressor gene Mutation causes not enough degradation resulting in high levels of proangiogenic factors (VEGF)  
🗑
Clear Cell RCC Prognosis   50% die of dz Tumor stage: T-size of primary tumor N-presence of metastases to regional lymph node M-distant metastasis  
🗑
Clear Cell RCC Nuclear grade   Fuhrman grade 1-4  
🗑
Papillary RCC   10-15% of RCC (second most common RCC) Hereditary tumors-mutation in c-met gene Associated ESRD (dialysis kidneys)  
🗑
Papillary RCC (cont)   More multiple than RCC >5mm by definition Typically present at early tumor stage Sig. better Px than Clear Cell RCC  
🗑
Collecting Duct Carcinoma   Rare 50-66% die in first 2 years Worst Px of typical RCC subtypes Painless gross hematuria 50% coexisting urinary bladder urothelial carcinoma  
🗑
Renal Medullary Carcinoma   Very rare, Very aggressive African-American or Mediterranean Die within 4-6 months of Dx Associated with sickle cell trait/dz  
🗑
Renal Urothelial Carcinomas   Neoplasms of transitional cell epithelium (TCC) 5% of primary renal neoplasms  
🗑
Renal Urothelial Carcinomas (cont)   Typically ass. with urothelial neoplasms elsewhere Multifocal Carcinogenic "field effect" (tobacco) Histologic grade and invasion  
🗑
