More basic #GUPath points for our new 2023 trainees🔬 Whereas Gleason grading for #Prostate cancer focuses on ARCHITECTURE and totally disregard nuclear features … WHO/ISUP grading for #Renal Cell Carcinoma focuses on NUCLEAR FEATURES and discounts architecture. 👇👇👇👇

Interesting case to share  (Board question): What's your diagnosis for this 3.3 cm renal tumor from a 42-year-old man? Vimentin, SMA, CD34, and CD10 are positive. Electron microscopy reveals electron-dense, rhomboid-shaped crystals in the cytoplasm.
