Conference Presentation Abstracts
Context: Renal cell carcinoma with fibromyomatous stroma (RCC-FMS) is a provisional entity of renal cell neoplasm that can be difficult to distinguish from low-grade clear cell RCC and clear cell papillary renal cell carcinoma (CCP-RCC) owing to its fibromyomatous stroma, low-grade nuclei, and clear cell cytoplasm.
Design: In this pilot study, we evaluated the utility of GATA3 and CD133 (a stem cell marker) as immunostain markers for the standard panel of cytokeratin 7 (CK7), CD10, and CAIX in distinguishing RCC-FMS from clear cell RCC and CCP-RCC. We stained 6 RCC-FMSs, 5 clear cell RCCs, and 5 CCP-RCC samples for all …
