'''Kidney cytopathology''' is uncommonly done.

==Angiomyolipoma==
{{Main|Angiomyolipoma}}
===General===
*May be associated with [[tuberous sclerosis]].

===Cytology===
Features:
*Blood vessels.
*Fat - usu. scant.
*Muscle - ovoid, bent cigar-shaped nuclei.

==Renal oncocytoma==
{{Main|Renal oncocytoma}}
===Cytology===
Features:<ref name=Ref_APBR683>{{Ref APBR|683}}</ref>
*Moderate granular cytoplasm.
*Distinct cell borders.
*Round nuclei.

Oncocytoma vs chromophobe RCC:<ref name=Ref_APBR683>{{Ref APBR|683}}</ref>
*ChRCC:
**Thicker cell borders.
**Perinuclear clearing/quasi koilocytic appearance.

==Clear cell renal cell carcinoma==
{{Main|Clear cell renal cell carcinoma}}
===Cytology===
Features - classically:
*Prominent [[nucleoli]].
*Abundant vacuolated, delicate cytoplasm.
*Small blood vessels (chicken-wire vasculature).

Note:
*Cytoplasm not clear.

DDx:
*[[Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis]] - histiocytes, typically single cells - may be in small groups.

==Chromophobe renal cell carcinoma==
{{Main|Chromophobe renal cell carcinoma}}
===Cytology===
Features:
*Thick appearing cell membrane - vegetable matter-like appearance.

==Papillary renal cell carcinoma==
{{Main|Papillary renal cell carcinoma}}
===Cytology===
Features:
*Papillary structures - typically have a smooth contour.
**Contain foamy macrophages.
*Tumour cells have small nucleoli +/- nuclear grooves.
*+/-[[Psammoma bodies]].
