Abstract
Renal cell carcinoma with leiomyomatous stroma is a rare and poorly described histopathological entity. Here we report a unique case with osseous metaplasia, in a 31-year-old man recently diagnosed with a tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC2gene mutation). Partial nephrectomy was performed. Histologically, the epithelial component was made up of papillary and alveolar structures with clear to eosinophilic cytoplasm, and basally located nuclei. The cells are surrounded by an abundant smooth muscle stroma with focally osseous metaplasia.The tumor was positive for carbonic anhydrase IX, cytokeratin 7, cytokeratin 20, and CD10, and negative for TFE3. This emerging entity is highly correlated to tuberous sclerosis complex, which justifies a screening for the syndrome when this diagnosis is made.
