Unusual and Challenging Cases in Genitourinary Pathology

This lecture will discuss uncommon variants of select genitourinary tumors of testis/paratesticular and renal/perirenal tissues with a focus on the differential diagnosis, key morphologic features, and when appropriate, ancillary testing.

Objectives

After this presentation, participants will be able to:

Describe a differential diagnosis of epithelioid and gland/pseudogland forming tumors of the paratestis using gross, microscopic, and immunohistochemical testing
Identify key morphologic features and ancillary testing in the workup of paratesticular adipocytic tumors
Identify patterns of hereditary leiomyomatosis associated renal cell carcinoma/fumarate hydratase (FH) deficient renal cell carcinoma and the use of FH immunohistochemistry in the diagnostic workup of renal cell carcinoma
Describe a differential diagnosis of small round blue cell tumors of the kidney and understand key morphologic, immunohistochemical, and molecular (FISH) findings of primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET)
Identify unusual histologic variants of angiomyolipoma and immunohistochemical testing that may aid in the diagnosis
