Papillary renal cell carcinoma embedded in an oncocytoma: Case report of a rare combined tumour of the kidney
Bibliographic record
Abstract
An asymptomatic 1-cm large papillary renal cell carcinoma (RCC) embedded in a 3.5-cm large oncocytoma was diagnosed and removed by right nephrectomy in a 68-year-old male investigated for the abdominal symptoms associated with cholelithiasis. The papillary RCC displayed positive immunohistochemical stainings with cytokeratin 7, alpha-methylacyl-CoA racemase and vimentin and was negative for the E-cadherin and CD117 immunostains, whereas the oncocytoma part showed opposite staining patterns. No gains of chromosomes 7 and 17 or loss of chromosome Y was detected in the papillary carcinoma by fluorescent in situ hybridization with centromeric enumeration probes. This finding is in keeping with the morphologic diagnosis of type 2 papillary RCC reported to have lower rates of these characteristic chromosomal changes. The combination of papillary RCC and oncocytoma, two tumours of different postulated origin, is extremely rare. It may represent a simple coincidence, but 2 previous cases and our current one share a few features, including the intimate embedment of the papillary RCC in the oncocytoma, the small size of the RCC and the old age of the patients. This case raises the point that renal oncocytomas can contain a hidden malignant tumour.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
