RESUMO
Clear cell papillary renal cell carcinoma (CCPRCC) is a newly described variant of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) which is composed mainly of cells with clear cytoplasm arranged in cystic and papillary patterns. We report the clinicopathologic features, prognosis and differential diagnosis of 6 Clear Cell Papillary Renal Cell Carcinomas. The clinical information and follow-up data were analyzed. The patients were six males with median age of 52.5 years. Case 1 revealed dense calcification and ossification. Cases 2 and 3 contain a variably prominent smooth muscle stromal component. CA-IX, CK7, PAX-8 and VIM were positive in all cases. TFE3 and AMACR were not expressed in any tumor. CD10 was negative in 5 of 6 cases .The patients were followed for 13~55 months with no local tumor recurrences and tumor metastasis. The CCPRCC was associated with a more favorable outcome. These were low-grade and low-stage renal tumors. No lymph node or distant metastasis of the six tumors.

In 1987, Carney et al described a rare thyroid tumor termed hyalinizing trabecular adenoma presenting characteristics consisting of a trabecular growth pattern and hyalinizing stroma. In subsequent reports, the observed nuclear features and RET alterations led this tumor to be linked to papillary carcinoma. Subsequent reports concerning hyalinizing trabecular carcinoma further complicated its classification. To avoid uncertainties, the definition of hyalinizing trabecular tumor (HTT) is more widely used. Herein, a case of HTT is reported in detail, and the circumstances are also discussed. HTT is thought to be particularly differentiated from papillary carcinoma despite the identical high frequency of nuclear grooves and cytoplasmic inclusions, and MIB-1-positive staining is one of the most accurate diagnostic methods due to the distinct membrane-positive pattern noted in HTT. It is believed that most HTTs are benign and lobectomy is the standard treatment. Pathologists should offer surgeons information concerning diagnosis overlapping with effective treatment.
