Eosinophilic solid and cystic renal cell carcinoma mimicking epithelioid Angiomyolipoma: series of 4 primary tumors and 2 metastases

Eosinophilic solid and cystic renal cell carcinoma (ESC-RCC) is a novel entity of rare tumors with rather unique morphology and immunohistochemical profile. Until recently these tumors were characterized by indolent behavior. Herein we describe a series of six primary and metastatic ESC-RCCs morphologically and immunophenotypically mimicking epithelioid angiomyolipoma (eAML). Retrospective review of unclassified RCCs with oncocytic phenotype yielded several candidate cases, 4 of which fulfilled diagnostic criteria after additional work-up.
