Well, here they are. Apparently a rare subtype of RCC? Has anyone heard of this? Anxious for my follow up appointment on Tuesday, so I can stop googling ?
FINAL DIAGNOSIS:
Right kidney, partial nephrectomy:
- Renal cell carcinoma, eosinophilic solid and cystic renal cell
carcinoma subtype
Specimen laterality: Right.
- Sarcomatoid features: Not identified.
- Rhabdoid features: Not identified.
- Tumor location: Right kidney.
- Tumor size: 3 cm in greatest dimension.
- Histologic grade (WHO/ISUP grade): Not applicable.
- Tumor focality: Unifocal.
- Tumor necrosis: Not identified.
- Tumor extent (macroscopic and microscopic):
- Tumor limited to the kidney.
- Lymphovascular invasion : Not identified.
- Surgical margins: Negative (2 mm from the nearest parenchymal
margin, A3).
- Involvement of adrenal gland: Adrenal not present in the
specimen.
- Lymph nodes: None submitted or found.
- Pathologic staging (8th Edition, AJCC):
- pT1a: Tumor 4 cm or less in greatest dimension,
limited to
the kidney.

solid and cystic growth pattern. Tumor hemorrhage is also noted. The
solid areas exhibit compact acinar growth. The tumor cells show
eosinophilic, voluminous cytoplasm with coarse cytoplasmic granules.

HinLindsey, i have heard of
HinLindsey, i have heard of it and recalled it ia a new subtype and with more indolent behaviour! Indolent is good!
"Eosinophilic solid and cystic renal cell carcinoma (ESC RCC) has been recently described as a unique and indolent renal neoplasm, found in female patients with and without tuberous sclerosis complex."

Try as much as you can not to
Try as much as you can not to use Dr Google. I did when I was diagnosed and it drove me crazier than I already was. Too many sites with too much conflicting information, plus half the sites are trying to sell you some quack "cure".
