METHODS: Twelve cases of MCRN-LMP and 33 cases of ccRCC with cystic component similar to MCRN-LMP were collected from 3,265 consecutive RCCs to compare them in clinicopathological features, immunohistochemical findings (PAX8, CA-IX, CK7, Vimentin, CD10, P504s, TFE3, 34βE12) and prognosis.
RESULTS: There was no significant difference in age, sex ratio, tumor size, treatment, grade and stage between them (P > 0.05). All ccRCCs with cystic component similar to MCRN-LMP coexisted with MCRN-LMP and solid low-grade ccRCCs, and MCRN-LMP component ranged from 20 to 90% (median, 59%). The positive ratio of CK7 and 34βE12 in MCRN-LMPs and ccRCCs\' cystic parts was significantly higher than that in ccRCCs\' solid parts, but the positive ratio of CD10 in MCRN-LMPs and ccRCCs\' cystic parts was significantly lower than that in ccRCCs\' solid parts (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference of all immunohistochemistry profiles between MCRN-LMPs and ccRCCs\' cystic parts (P > 0.05). No patient developed recurrence or metastasis.
CONCLUSIONS: MCRN-LMP and ccRCC with cystic component similar to MCRN-LMP have similarity and homology in clinicopathological features, immunohistochemical findings and prognosis, and form a low-grade spectrum with indolent or low malignant potential behavior. The ccRCC with cystic component similar to MCRN-LMP may be a rare pattern of cyst-dependent progression from MCRN-LMP.
方法:从连续的3,265例RCC中收集12例MCRN-LMP和33例囊性成分与MCRN-LMP相似的ccRCC,以比较它们的临床病理特征。
结果:年龄无显著差异,
结论:MCRN-LMP和具有与MCRN-LMP相似的囊性成分的ccRCC在临床病理特征上具有相似性和同源性,
