Name the 5 benign renal tumors.
Oncocytoma
angiomyolipoma
Adenoma
Medullary fibroma
Metastatic nephroma
What are the 3 main malignant renal tumors?
Renal cell carcinoma
Wilm's tumor
Transitional cell carcinoma
What percent of transitional cell carcinomas occur proximally to the bladder?
5%
What percent of primary renal tumors are transitional cell carcinomas?
5-10%
What percent of renal neoplasias are oncocytomas?
5-10%
What is the gross appearance of a renal oncocytomas?
Well circumscribed mahogany brown lesion, mostly solitary.
What is the microscopic appearance of a renal oncocytomas?
monotonous bland eosinophillic cells packed with mitochondria with no nuclear atypia
What tissue types make up a renal angiomyolipoma?
Like the name suggests: fat, smooth muscle and vessels.
In what autosomal dominant condition do 25% of the patients have renal angiomyolipoma?
tuberous sclerosis (pts have hamartomas and benign brain/soft tissue tumors with skin nailbed, retinal, pulmonary and heart involvement)
What type of renal neoplasia is found in >40% of all autopsy pts over 70 y/o?
Renal adenomas
What is the gross appearance of a renal angiomyolipoma?
Encapsulated, yellow, and bosselated
What is the common size and microscopic appearance of a renal adenoma?
<5mm
Looks like a low grade papillary
What renal neoplasia is found in 50% of all adult autopsies?
medullary fibroma (benign)
What's the gross appearance of a medullary fibroma?
<5mm well circumscribed pale gray lesion within the pyramid
What is the microscopic appearance of a medullary fibroma?
Fibroblast like cells with collagenous tissue
What is the most common pediatric renal neoplasia?
Mesoblastic nephroma
Who gets Mesoblastic nephromas?
Babies: 90% are less than 1 y/o, 63% are less than 3 months
What's the appearance of a Mesoblastic nephroma?
1-15 cm lesion of benign spindle cells of fibroblastic or myofibroblastic origin
What's important to keep in mind when resecting a Mesoblastic nephroma?
It can recur if the resection is incomplete
What is the most common solid abdominal tumor in kids?
Wilm's tumor (malignant neoplasm of embryologic nephrogenic elements)
What percent of Wilm's tumors are assoc with congenital syndromes?
5%
What congenital syndromes are assoc with Wilm's tumors?
WAGR
Denys-Drash
Beckwith-Weidemann
What is WAGR?
Congenital syndrome with Wilm's, Aniridia (no iris), GU anomalies, and retardation
What causes WAGR?
Chomosome 11 short arm deletion = affects PAX6 and WT1
What percent of WAGR pts get a Wilm's tumor? What has to occur for this to happen?
1/3
Must get mutation in the remaining WT1
What causes Deny-Drash syndrome and what do you see?
WT1 mutation = Wilm's, intersexual disorders, and glomerulonephropathy
What causes Beckwith-Weidemann syndrome and what do you see?
WT2 mutation = Wilms, gigantism, visceromegly, and macroglossia
What percent of familial Wilm's is bilateral?
20%
Who gets Wilm's and how does it present?
Young kids (2 y/o) with abdominal mass
What worsens the prognosis of a Wilm's tumor?
pt > 2 y/o, extension beyond the capsule, anaplasia
What is the prognosis of a Wilm's tumor?
90% long term survival with surgery, chemo and radiation
What makes up 80% of renal cancers?
Renal cell carcinoma
Who gets Renal cell carcinoma?
men older than 60
What's the classic triad of Renal cell carcinoma? What percent of patients actually get this?
Hematuria, flank pain, and abdominal mass. Only seen in <10%, most just have painless hematuria
What percent of Renal cell carcinoma are familial?
5% (Family Hx = 4-5x risk)
What's different about the familial Renal cell carcinomas?
They tend to be multifocal, bilateral, and occur at a younger age
What 3 conditions are associated with familial Renal cell carcinoma?
Von-Hippel Lindau
Autosomal Dominant RCC
Hereditary papillary carcinoma
What mutation is seen in 98% of the clear cell renal carcinomas?
VHL tumor suppressor gene
What chromosome is affected in autosomal dominant RCC and what percent develop cancer?
Chromosome 3
50% develop clear cell carcinoma
What is the mutation and inheritance of Von-Hippel Lindau?
Autosomal dominant mutation in the VHL tumor suppressor gene
What neoplasias do you see in a patient with Von-Hippel Lindau? (4)
Cerebellar hemangioblastoma
Retinal Angioma
Clear cell renal carcinoma (40%)
Pheochromocytoma and cysts
What is the abnormality in patients with hereditary papillary carcinoma of the kidney?
cmet mutation and trisomies of 7,16, or 17
What are the 4 types of renal cell carcinoma and what's the prevalence of each?
70-80% clear cell
10-15% papillary (type 1 = sm cell)
5% chromophobe
1% collecting duct
Who gets the rare collecting duct varient of renal cell carcinoma?
Blacks with sickle cell disease
What are the 2 main risk factors for renal cell carcinoma?
Smoking
Cystic disease
What percent of chronic dialysis patients end up developing renal cell carcinoma?
1-7%
What's the prognosis for renal cell carcinoma if encapsulated? What if it's met'd at dx?
90% 5 yr survival if it's within the capsule
