“…Neuroblastoma contain Homer-Wright rosettes, neurofibrillary stroma which are usually not seen in neuroendocrine tumors. Lin C et al 9 have studied the expression of estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) in their case and found to be strongly expressed in the tumor cells. They speculated that hormone therapy may be a potential therapeutic targets in such tumors.…”

Well-differentiated renal neuroendocrine tumors are rare tumors. As their biologic behavior is not fully known, there is a need to know more about these cases. We performed a retrospective chart review of all the cases diagnosed with renal neuroendocrine tumors from January 2016 to December 2020 (five years) in order to understand their clinical features, morphological characteristics and outcome. We included six cases with mean age of 46.2 years (4 males) in our study. All patients underwent radical nephrectomy. Histologically all showed tumor disposed in nests and trabeculae and majority of the tumors belonged to well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumor Grade 1 (WHO criteria of gastoroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms). Lymph node metastasis was seen in two cases at the time of clinical presentation. All the tumors were diffusely positive for neuroendocrine tumor markers (synaptophysin, chromogranin, NSE, CD56). Follow-up data was available in all cases with an average follow-up of two years and neither has shown evidence of metastasis or relapse till last follow-up. Role of morphological patterns and immunohistochemical markers is highlighted with the importance of including Ki-67 index in grading them to better understand their outcome.

Primary kidney neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are rare renal malignancies. However, detecting and monitoring neuroendocrine neoplasms remains challenging because of their nonspecific nature. We herein present a case involving a 53-year-old woman who experienced episodes of intermittent abdominal pain, dizziness, and nausea for a period of 5 days. Computed tomography urography revealed a small (approximately 19- × 16-mm) nodular shadow in the left kidney. The nodular shadow exhibited slightly lower density than the surrounding tissue as well as enhancement, with a portion protruding into the renal sinus region. Histological and immunohistochemical analyses of the biopsy specimen from the mass indicated a well-differentiated NET. After analysis of this case, we performed a literature review and herein discuss various techniques for imaging and pathological diagnosis of renal NETs. Additionally, we provide insights into the treatment options and prognosis for affected patients. By combining this case study with the existing published literature, we aim to offer a valuable reference for clinicians treatment patients diagnosed with renal NETs.
