Papillary renal cell carcinoma

Papillary renal cell carcinoma (PRCC), also known as chromophil renal cell carcinoma is a malignant, heterogeneous tumor originating from renal tubular epithelial cells of the kidney, which comprises approximately 10-15% of all kidney neoplasms. Based on its morphological features, PRCC can be classified into two main subtypes, which are type 1 (basophilic) and type 2 (eosinophilic).
