Multitechnical pathological diagnosis in chromophobe renal cell carcinoma

Abstract

Two new cases of chromophobe renal cell carcinoma were diagnosed on the basis of their morphology and their karyotype complemented by flow cytometry. In one of these cases, however, all these investigations were not sufficient and additional histochemistry investigation had to be used to completely rule out other renal tumors such as oncocytoma, the prognosis of which is totally different.
