Papillary renal cell carcinoma, abbreviated PRCC, PaRCC and papillary RCC, is the second most common type of renal cell carcinoma.
General
- Often subclassified[1] into type 1 and type 2 -- see microscopic.
- Type 1 and Type 2 are different on a cytogenetic and molecular basis.[2]
Epidemiology
- Associated with acquired renal cystic disease.[3]
- May be familial - uncommon.[4]
- MET mutation[5] - autosomal dominant transmission, PaRCC type 1.
Microscopic
Features:[6]
- Cuboidal or low columnar cell in papillae.
- Interstitial foam cells in vascular cores - key feature.[7]
- Most sensitive and specific feature of PRCC.[8]
- Highly vascular.
Size criterion:
- Papillary lesions must be >0.5 cm to be called carcinoma; smaller lesions (<=0.5 cm) are called papillary adenomas.[9]
Mnemonic HIP: highly vascular, interstitial foam cells, papillae.
DDx:
- Clear cell RCC.
- Papillary: +histiocytes, +intracellular hemosiderin, CK7+.
- Clear cell papillary renal cell carcinoma.
- Metanephric adenoma - esp. solid PRCC type 1.
- Collecting duct carcinoma - esp. PRCC type 2.
- Renal papillary adenoma.

Histological subtyping
Generally accepted subtypes:[1][10]
- Type 1 - single layer of cells on basement membrane - most important.
- Usually low grade nuclear features, i.e. low Fuhrman grade.
- Other characteristics:
- Clear cytoplasm.
- Foamy macrophages - common.
- Cells smaller.
- Type 2 - pseudostratification of cells - most important.
- Usually high grade nuclear features, i.e. high Fuhrman grade.
- Other characteristics:
- Eosinophilic cytoplasm.
- Foamy macrophages - uncommon.
- Cells larger.
Another subtype:
- Oncocytic - oncocytic cytoplasm.
- Extremely rare ~ largest series is 12 cases.[11]
IHC
Features:[1]
- AMACR +ve.[12]
- HMWCK (34betaE12) +ve.
- Panker (AE1/AE3) +ve.
- CK7 +ve ~90% of type 1, 20% of type 2.
More reading:
Type 1 versus Type 2:[13]
- CK7:
- Type 1 ~ 100%.
- Type 2 ~ 19%.
- CK19:
- Type 1 ~ 100%.
- Type 2 ~ 53%.
Metanephric adenoma vs. PaRCC type 1:[14]
- AMACR +ve.
- WT-1 -ve.
- CD57 -ve.
Molecular
Features:[15]
- Sporadic: trisomies 7, 16, 17.
- Familial: trisomy 7.
- Chromosome 7 = location of MET gene.
Note:
- Not used for diagnosis.[16]

KIDNEY, RIGHT, RADICAL NEPHRECTOMY: - PAPILLARY RENAL CELL CARCINOMA, TYPE 1, FUHRMANN GRADE 3, pT2a(2), pNx. -- SURGICAL MARGINS NEGATIVE. -- PLEASE SEE TUMOUR SUMMARY. - RENAL PAPILLARY ADENOMAS.
Micro
The sections show a tumour in the kidney with fibrovascular cores (papillae) that focally contain macrophages. Psammoma bodies are present. Siderophages are present.
The papillae predominantly have a single layer of tumour cells and the cytoplasm of the tumour cells is predominantly clear.
Nucleoli are visible focally with the 10x objective (Fuhrman grade 3).
A second tumour with the same morphology is present and measures 8 millimetres.
Multiple small lesions, like the largest tumour, less than 0.5 cm are present.
Oncocytic variant
KIDNEY, RIGHT, NEPHRECTOMY: - PAPILLARY RENAL CELL CARCINOMA, ONCOCYTIC -- SEE COMMENT; - FUHRMANN GRADE 2; - SURGICAL MARGINS NEGATIVE; - PLEASE SEE TUMOUR SUMMARY. COMMENT: The oncocytic variant of papillary renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is uncommon and not widely recognized as a subtype of papillary RCC. The prognostic significance of the oncocytic cytoplasm is uncertain.[1] The histomorphology in this case is compatible with a type 1 papillary RCC. 1. Ann Diagn Pathol. 2006 Jun;10(3):133-9.
