Unclassified renal cell carcinoma, abbreviated URCC, is a malignant epithelial tumour arising from the kidney parenchyma, i.e. a renal cell carcinoma, that cannot be further classified.
General
- Uncommon.
- A WHO classification diagnosis of exclusion.
- Worse prognosis than clear cell renal cell carcinoma.[1]
- High variation in the prevalence (when comparing institutions); this suggests a lack of uniformity in the diagnosis of this subtype.[1]
Gross
- Mass lesion arising from the kidney - solid and/or cystic.
- Confined to kidney or predominantly within the kidney.
Microscopic
Features:
- Malignant tumour that is one of the following:[2][3]
- A combination of other RCC histologic types (~35% of cases of URCC).
- Has a "non-identifiable" pattern/unrecognizable cell type (~60% of cases of URCC).
- Pure sarcomatoid RCC without an identifiable (epithelioid) RCC subtype (~5% of cases of URCC).[3]
DDx:
- Clear cell renal cell carcinoma.
- Collecting duct carcinoma.
- Undifferentiated carcinoma.
- Kidney metastasis - typically metastatic carcinoma.
- Retroperitoneal sarcoma, e.g. pleomorphic undifferentiated sarcoma.
- Newly described renal tumour or emerging entity - see Vancouver classification.
- Collision tumour, e.g. urothelial carcinoma and identifiable renal cell carcinoma.
