ABSTRACT
Papillary renal cell carcinoma classification has evolved as a result of attentive morphologic observations by pathologists coupled with specific immunohistochemical, molecular, and clinical data. Refinement of this relatively common diagnostic category of renal neoplasia has resulted in the parsing out of specific renal cell carcinoma subtypes that no longer belong in the papillary renal cell carcinoma category and can have distinct familial and prognostic implications (eg, fumarate hydratase (FH)-deficient renal cell carcinomas). In addition, evolving classification has enabled more accurate diagnosis by surgical pathologists (through the description of recognizable morphologic variants). In many cases, molecular findings have aided and confirmed morphologic categorization. The combination of morphologic and molecular findings continues to provide important prognostic information for patients and their clinicians.
