Submitted by: Peter A. Humphrey -

Clinical Summary:

The patient is an asymptomatic 55 year old man with an elevated serum prostate specific antigen of 6.5 ng/ml. He underwent ultrasound-guided prostate needle biopsy.

Pertinent Laboratory Data:
Elevated PSA (7 ng/mL)

Case 2 - Click here for Text and References

Submitted by: Satish K. Tickoo -

Clinical Summary:

A 67 year old male presented with left flank pain and microscopic hematuria. CT scan performed revealed a left UVJ calculus with mild hydronephrosis, along with a 2.5 cm enhancing mass in the lower pole of the left kidney. After the placement of left ureteral stent, subsequent MR revealed no hydronephrosis, but persistent complex cystic mass in the kidney. A partial nephrectomy was performed, and the photomicrographs are from the resected 2.5 cm, cystic and solid mass.

Case 2 - Figure 1
Cystic areas in the tumor with papillary proliferations.

Case 2 - Figure 2
Prominent papillary architecture. Note the clear cell cytology of the tumor.

Case 2 - Figure 3
A solid area in the tumor showing closely packed tubular architecture. In addition to the clear cell cytology, the arrangement of nuclei away from basement membrane is prominantly present.

Case 2 - Figure 4
A higher magnification image showing the characteristic linear arrangement of nuclei.

Case 2 - Figure 5
This image illustrates the spectrum of morphologic features in this clear cell papillary RCC: tubular/acinar pattern with characteristically arranged nuclei, microcysts, solid sheet-like area composed of numerous mico- or "collapsed" acini, and smooth muscle metaplasia of the capsule with extension into the tumor.

Case 2 - Figure 6
Diffuse positivity for CK7.

Case 2 - Figure 7
Diffuse membranous positivity for CA-IX.




Case 3 - Click here for Text and References

Submitted by: Samson W. Fine -

Clinical Summary:

51 year old male with a history of a 3 cm, organ-confined clear cell renal cell carcinoma in 1998.

Pertinent Laboratory Data:

Over a four year period the patient's PSA rose from 1.71 to 3.28 prompting a systematic prostate needle biopsy.

Clinical Summary:

71-year-old male with dysuria, recently underwent cystoscopy on 9-28-10 and had a transurethral resection of a small bladder tumor. Past medical history significant for metastatic prostate cancer to bone and status post prostatectomy, radiation and hormonal therapy.

Pertinent Laboratory Data:
