Associated Dx end-stage renal disease
Prevalence rare

Acquired cystic disease-associated renal cell carcinoma, abbreviated ACD-RCC, is a rare kidney cancer that arises in the context of chronic renal failure.

General

Gross

  • Cysts.

Microscopic

Features:

  • Fused tubular structures/cribriforming/sieve-like architecture.[4]
    • Focal papillary architecture - common.[2]
    • Tumour cells have prominent nucleoli (ISUP nucleolar grade 3) and eosinophilic cytoplasm.
  • Oxylate crystals - important.
  • Acquired cystic disease in background - required.
    • Changes of end-stage kidney (obsolete glomeruli, thyroidization, interstitial fibrosis).
