PG - 1196-200 LID - 10.1038/modpathol.2009.84 [doi] AB - Cytologically atypical stromal cells were found in the perinephric adipose tissue, mimicking well-differentiated liposarcoma in 12 of 59 (20%) consecutive nephrectomy specimens that were resected for renal cell carcinoma. Morphologically, the atypical cells included enlarged, hyperchromatic spindle cells and floret-type multinucleate cells. Of 59, 10 (17%) renal cell carcinomas invaded through the renal capsule into the perinephric adipose tissue. Of these cases, three (30%) contained the aforementioned atypical cells. In contrast, 9 of 49 cases without extrarenal invasion (18%) contained the atypical stromal cells. Of the 12 cases with atypical stromal cells, 3 (25%) were associated with extrarenal involvement. The atypical spindle cells exhibited focal to variable positivity for smooth muscle actin and desmin in 3 of the 14 cases (including two cases from our consultation files) each. Cytokeratin AE1/AE3, cytokeratin Cam 5.2, cytokeratin 7, epithelial membrane antigen, and S-100 were negative in all cases. Amplification of MDM2 gene region, which is commonly observed in well-differentiated liposarcoma, was absent by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) in the atypical stromal cells. Immunohistochemistry and FISH suggest that the atypical cells are most consistent with reactive fibroblasts/myofibroblasts. Recognition of these atypical fibroblasts/myofibroblasts may help in avoiding the potential pitfall of misdiagnosing them as well-differentiated liposarcoma.
