“…23,24 Chromophobe RCC, usually, has single cells with frequent binucleation, nuclear size variation, nuclear outline irregularity and abundant, fluffy cytoplasm that could be granular. 18,25 Angiomyolipoma has been portrayed cytologically as cohesive syncytial fragments, with adipocytes, spindle cells, and isolated single cells with foamy cytoplasm. 26 High-grade urothelial carcinomas are characterized cytologically as markedly atypical cells with angulated nuclei and coarse chromatin, which could be present in papillary clusters.…”

The role of fine needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy of renal cortical lesions was controversial in the past because the result of the FNA did not affect clinical management. All renal cortical lesions, except metastasis, were subject to surgical resection. However, with the advances in neoadjuvant targeted therapies, knowledge of the renal cortical tumor histological subtype is critical for tailoring clinical trials and follow-up strategies. At present, there are clinical trials involving the use of novel kinase inhibitors for conventional (clear cell) and papillary renal cell carcinoma. We studied 143 consecutive cases of renal cortical lesions, evaluated after radical or partial nephrectomies over a 2-year period. An air-dried smear and a Thinprep® slide were prepared in all cases. The slides were Diff-Quick and Papanicolaou stained, respectively. The cytology specimens were reviewed and the results were then compared with the histologic diagnosis. Cytology was highly accurate to diagnose conventional RCC, while the accuracy for papillary RCC, chromophobe RCC, and papillary urothelial carcinoma was much lower. Our results indicate that ancillary studies might have an important role in the subclassification of renal cortical neoplasms for targeted treatment.

“…The most common among these is Wilms tumor followed by clear cell sarcoma, congenital mesoblastic nephroma, and rhabdoid tumor, whereas, PNET, ossifying renal tumor of infancy and angiomyolipomas (AMLs) are rare and form <2% of pediatric renal tumors. [3][4][5] Here, we describe the fine-needle aspiration findings in a case of renal AML in a 6-year-old boy along with its cytologic differentials. 2 Cytology is one of the most important diagnostic modality for pediatric renal neoplasms.…”

Angiomyolipoma (AML) earlier thought to be a hamartomatous lesion is now considered as a rare neoplasm of the kidney. A 6-year-old child presented with an abdominal mass.CT scans showed a multiloculated mass with variable attenuation raising the possibility of AML. FNAC done from the lesion also suggested possibility of AML, which was later confirmed on the histology of the resected specimen. There is sparse literature available describing the cytologic diagnosis of AML in children. Hence, we take this opportunity to describe the cytological findings of a case of pediatric renal AML.
