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
