– Remember the chromosomal/gene abnormalities
• WT1 gene on chromosome 11
– Associated syndromes
• Prognosis related to stage and histology
– Better differentiated → better prognosis and vice versa

– Unless patient has multiple tumors some of which
may be microscopic
• More often seen in
birt hogg dube
Oncocytoma
Key Points to Remember
• Most common benign renal tumor
• Derived from intercalated cells in collecting ducts
• Sporadic and familial
– Specific associated syndrome (Birt
• Characteristic “central scar” and “mahogany brown” color
• Composed of large eosinophilic
• Characteristic EM findings
– Abundant mitochondria
Birt‐Hogg‐Dube syndrome)
cells
from the renal pelvis
to the urethra

propria
• But 70% of these tumors
recur

lamina propria
high grade noninvasive PUC
low grade noninvasive PUC almost looks just like:
normal urothelium
Tumor cells invade the underlying muscle
invading UC
• Non‐invasive urothelial neoplasms can be successfully
treated via
• Wide excision
• Ablation

• BCG therapy
• Radiation
• 30% of non‐invasive tumors progress to invasive UC
• Invasive UC is usually treated with radical
• Invasive tumors have a poor prognosis
• Prognosis is related to the depth of invasion into the bladder
wall and the presence or absence of metastatic disease
• Invasive UC is usually treated with
radical cystectomy
