Clear cell papillary renal cell carcinoma
Clear cell papillary renal cell carcinoma is a rare indolent subtype of clear cell renal carcinoma arising from epithelial cells in the renal cortex. It most frequently manifests with a well-circumscribed well-encapsulated unicentric unilateral small tumor that typically does not metastasize. Clinically it can present with flank or abdominal pain or hematuria although most patients are usually asymptomatic at the time of diagnosis. Bilateral and/or multifocal presentation should raise the suspicion of von Hippel-Lindau syndrome.
