Reappraisal of morphologic differences between renal medullary carcinoma, collecting duct carcinoma, and fumarate hydratase–deficient renal cell carcinoma

Renal medullary carcinomas (RMCs) and collecting duct carcinomas (CDCs) are rare
subsets of lethal high-stage, high-grade distal nephron-related adenocarcinomas with a
predilection for the renal medullary region. Recent findings have established an emerging
group of fumarate hydratase (FH)-deficient tumors related to hereditary leiomyomatosis and
renal cell carcinoma (HLRCC-RCCs) syndrome within this morphologic spectrum. Recently
developed, reliable ancillary testing has enabled consistent separation between these tumor …
