Renal Cell Carcinoma Associated with Neuroblastoma |
C100051 |
NCI Thesaurus |
Renal cell carcinoma that develops in patients who are long-term survivors of childhood neuroblastoma. |
| Carcinoma of the collecting ducts of Bellini (WHO code: 8319/3) |
Carcinoma of the Collecting Ducts of Bellini |
C6194 |
NCI Thesaurus |
Also known as collecting duct carcinoma, this is a rare type of renal carcinoma. It arises from the collecting ducts of the renal medulla, and most authors suggest that this is an aggressive tumor. - 2003 |
| Chromophobe renal cell carcinoma (WHO code: 8317/3) |
Chromophobe Renal Cell Carcinoma |
C4146 |
NCI Thesaurus |
A type of carcinoma that comprises a minority of renal cell carcinomas. It is characterized by loss of chromosomes 1 and Y. Based on the cytoplasmic characteristics of the neoplastic cells, this type of carcinoma is classified as classic (typical) or eosinophilic. It has a much better prognosis than other renal cell carcinomas. |
| Clear cell renal carcinoma (WHO code: 8310/3) |
Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma |
C4033 |
NCI Thesaurus |
A malignant epithelial neoplasm of the kidney characterized by the presence of lipid-containing clear cells within a vascular network. The tumor may metastasize to unusual sites and late metastasis is common. |
| Mucinous tubular and spindle cell carcinoma |
Mucinous Tubular and Spindle Cell Carcinoma of the Kidney |
C39807 |
NCI Thesaurus |
A low grade carcinoma of the kidney characterized by the presence of tubules which are separated by mucinous stroma. Often the tubular structures have a spindle cell appearance. Patients are usually asymptomatic and occasionally they may present with hematuria or flank pain. |
| Multilocular clear cell renal carcinoma (WHO code: 8310/3) |
Multilocular Cystic Renal Cell Carcinoma |
C4524 |
NCI Thesaurus |
A rare type of renal cell carcinoma. It is a well-circumscribed multicystic mass without solid areas. The inner lining of the cystic structures is composed of clear cells. |

Different than the one(s) previously specified or mentioned. |
| Renal cell carcinoma, unclassified (WHO code: 8312/3) |
Unclassified Renal Cell Carcinoma |
C27892 |
NCI Thesaurus |
A renal cell carcinoma characterized by morphologic features that do not fit easily into one of the other well-defined categories of renal cell carcinoma. Examples of such features include mixtures of morphologic patterns, mucin production, and sarcomatoid morphology. |
| Renal medullary carcinoma (WHO code: 8319/3) |
Kidney Medullary Carcinoma |
C7572 |
NCI Thesaurus |
A recently described type of renal carcinoma, affecting mostly young African-Americans. It is located in the medulla of the kidney, and follows an aggressive clinical course. Most reported cases have shown metastatic disease at the time of diagnosis. |
| Translocation carcinoma (Xp11 or others) |
Renal Cell Carcinoma Associated with Xp11.2 Translocations/TFE3 Gene Fusions |
C27891 |
NCI Thesaurus |
A group of kidney carcinomas characterized by the presence of different translocations involving the chromosome Xp11.2. These translocations result in the creation of gene fusions involving the TFE3 gene. Patients are usually children and young adults. Morphologically, the malignant epithelial cells form papillary patterns. The clinical behavior of this group of carcinomas is largely unknown. |
