Multilocular Cystic Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma
Multilocular cystic renal cell carcinoma (MCRCC) is rare subtype of renal cell carcinoma. Histologically, the tumor has a fibrous capsule and contains multiple cysts with clear cells. 1-5% of renal cell carcinomas are MCRCC. References Kidney cancer {{med-sign-stub ...

Renal Cell Carcinoma
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a kidney cancer that originates in the lining of the proximal convoluted tubule, a part of the very small tubes in the kidney that transport primary urine. RCC is the most common type of kidney cancer in adults, responsible for approximately 90–95% of cases. RCC occurrence shows a male predominance over women with a ratio of 1.5:1. RCC most commonly occurs between 6th and 7th decade of life. Initial treatment is most commonly either partial or complete removal of the affected kidney(s). Where the cancer has not metastasised (spread to other organs) or burrowed deeper into the tissues of the kidney, the five-year survival rate is 65–90%, but this is lowered considerably when the cancer has spread. The body is remarkably good at hiding the symptoms and as a result people with RCC often have advanced disease by the time it is discovered. The initial symptoms of RCC often include blood in the urine (occurring in 40% of affected persons at the time ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Clear Cell
In histology, a clear cell is a cell that shows a clear cytoplasm when stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E). Normal histology In the skin, some secretory cells in the epithelium appear as clear cells, and are one of the components of eccrine sweat glands. A clear cell's plasma membrane is highly folded, more so on the apical and lateral surfaces. The cytoplasm of clear cells contains large amounts of glycogen and many mitochondria. Melanocytes appear as clear cells when in the stratum basale of the skin, and Langerhans' cells appear as clear cells in the stratum spinosum. C cells, more commonly referred to as parafollicular cells are type of cell found in the thyroid gland which stain clear using H&E. Clear cell cancers Clear-cell adenocarcinomas are adenocarcinoma Adenocarcinoma (; plural adenocarcinomas or adenocarcinomata ) (AC) is a type of cancerous tumor that can occur in several parts of the body. It is defined as neoplasia of epithelial tissue that has glandular ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
