What is the main reason why collecting duct carcinoma is more aggressive than clear cell renal cell carcinoma?

A renal tumor that is infiltrating the outside fat is considered to be pT3

Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of collecting duct carcinoma?

What is the most common type of renal cell carcinoma?

Angiomyolipoma is a type of epithelial tumor.

Sarcomatoid change in a renal tumor is a common finding in chromophobe renal cell carcinoma.

The presence of a scar in the center of a renal tumor is always a sign of malignancy.

"Italian tumor of the kidney" is the nickname used for angiomyolipoma.

The ISUP system is based on the size of the tumor.

A renal tumor that is infiltrating the fat of the sinus of the kidney, without invading the perirenal fat, is considered to be a pT2 tumor.

What is the most common type of renal tumor in the adult kidney?

The Fuhrman grading system is the most widely used system for grading renal cell carcinoma.

Distant metastasis is a common finding at presentation in renal cell carcinoma.

A core biopsy is always required before surgery for renal cell carcinoma.

The TNM staging system is used to assess the size and spread of the tumor and is a critical factor in determining treatment and prognosis.

A pT4 renal cell carcinoma has a high probability of survival at 15 years.

What is the most common location for a papillary renal cell carcinoma to develop?

Which of the following is NOT considered a common pattern for collecting duct carcinoma?

A tumor that has infiltrated the renal sinus fat but not the perirenal fat is considered a pT3 tumor.

A rhabdoid cell is a type of mesenchymal cell that is commonly seen in renal tumors.

A renal tumor that is less than 1.5 cm in size is considered to be a malignant tumor.

What is the main histological feature of a chromophobe renal cell carcinoma?

The presence of a melanocytic protein in a renal tumor is a specific finding for a renal cell carcinoma.

A tumor that is infiltrating the outside fat is considered to be a pT2 tumor.

The ISUP grading system is based on the size of the nucleoli in the nucleus of cells.

When a tumor is infiltrating the renal vein, what might be the potential complication?

A renal tumor that presents with a cystic degeneration is always considered to be benign.

A tumor that is found in the medulla of the kidney is always a sign of a malignant tumor.

Distant metastasis is a rare finding at presentation in renal cell carcinoma.

What is the main histological feature that distinguishes a clear cell renal cell carcinoma from a chromophobe renal cell carcinoma?

The Fuhrman grading system is still widely used for grading renal cell carcinoma.

Sarcomatoid change is associated with a higher grade tumor and a poorer prognosis.

What is the main histological feature that distinguishes an oncocytoma from other renal tumors?

A renal tumor that is infiltrating the outside fat is considered to be a pT2 tumor.
