Abstract
Thyroid-like follicular carcinoma of the kidney (TLFC) is an unusual histological variant of renal cell carcinoma not included in the current WHO classification of renal tumors. Its morphological features resemble a large spectrum of benign and malignant renal and extra-renal conditions which should be ruled out in the diagnostic process. Because TLFC outcome is different from the other variants of renal cell carcinoma, the exploration for disease-specific markers is mandatory. The aim of the present paper is to illustrate the histological characteristics and immunohistochemical profile of two new cases along with a brief review of the literature.Entities:
