ABSTRACT
Background. Renal carcinoma represents 2.5% of the neoplasms
of the kidney and 85% of the primary renal tumors. There have been
described several types of these tumors, the more common subtype
is the renal clear cell carcinoma (RCC). The aim of this study was to
describe the pathological and morphological characteristics in a
series of RCCs from Medica Sur Hospital.
Material and methods.
This is a descriptive study of RCCs that were reviewed from
nephrectomies, in a 15 years period (1999-2014).
Results. The
greatest dimension of the tumor was 30 cm and the smaller was 2
cm, 60.2% of the cases had nuclear grade of 2, 35.1% showed
necrosis, 44.6% had extension to the perirrenal adipose tissue and
the 27% was extended into the Gerota’s fascia. Infiltration to the
blood vessels was showed in the 39.4% and venous tumoral thrombus
in the 23%. The tumor was spread through the renal sinus in
16.2%, there was lymph node dissection in 25.7% and it was observed
adrenal gland in 39.9%.
Conclusion. This is the first study
which describes the morphological characteristics of the clear cell
renal carcinomas in Mexican population, the results show that some
of these characteristics have more aggressive behavior when they
are compared with some reports from the literature. A relation among
the nuclear grade with the tumoral size, necrosis and extrarrenal
dissemination also was identified.
