Fine‐needle aspiration findings of <scp>X</scp>p11 translocation renal cell carcinoma metastatic to a hilar lymph node
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Xp11 translocation renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a specific type of renal cell carcinoma recently placed under the "MiT family translocation RCC" at the last 2013 ISUP Vancouver classification of renal neoplasia. This tumor contains variable proportions of clear cells and could easily mimic papillary RCC, clear cell type, and clear cell papillary RCC. Given the small number of published cytologic findings of this tumor, it could easily present as a diagnostic pitfall. We describe a case of a 23-year-old man with a history of prior nephrectomy who presented with multiple mediastinal lymphadenopathies on imaging surveillance follow-up. Fine-needle aspiration of the lymph node showed tumor cells with voluminous clear to eosinophilic cytoplasm, well-defined cell borders and hyperchromatic nuclei arranged in papillary architecture. Review of the prior nephrectomy specimen showed papillary cores surrounded by cells with voluminous clear to finely granular eosinophilic cytoplasm and distinct cell borders. Immunohistochemical stains performed on the nephrectomy specimen showed tumor positivity for CD10, E-cadherin, a-methylacyl coenzyme A racemase, and TFE3 supporting the diagnosis of Xp11 translocation renal cell carcinoma. Although this tumor was initially described predominantly in children, it could also occur in adults, as seen in this case. Familiarity with the cytologic findings of this tumor, use of immunohistochemical stains, or cytogenetic test to determine the type of gene fusion will be extremely useful in arriving at the correct diagnosis.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
