ABSTRACT
Renal cell carcinoma with rhabdoid differentiation (RCC‑R) has an aggressive biologic behavior and poor prognosis. A recent consensus statement of the International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP) proposed a nucleolar grading system (ISUP grade) for RCC to replace Fuhrman system and recommended reporting the presence of rhabdoid differentiation and considering tumors with rhabdoid differentiation to be ISUP Grade 4. We report a case of incidentally detected clear cell RCC‑R in a 52‑year‑old man. This is one of the earliest cases of RCC‑R (pT1b) detected and first such case from Indian subcontinent.
ABSTRACT
Head and neck sarcomas account for about 1% of malignant head and neck tumors, and histiocytic sarcomas (HSs) account for less than 1% of all hematolymphoid neoplasms. These rare hematopoietic neoplasms are the result of a malignant proliferation of cells. They have morphological and immunophenotypic features of mature tissue histiocytes, which play a major role in processing and presenting antigens to T or B lymphocytes. The mesenchymal differentiation of HSs has not been reported. We describe a case of HS with rhabdoid differentiation in a 55-year-old man who presented with a 3×2.5×2 cm mass in the left supraclavicular area. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report worldwide of a primary HS with rhabdoid differentiation.
