Summary: This study presents a case report of laparoscopic resection of a giant cystic renal cell carcinoma. The diagnosis of papillary renal cell carcinoma was confirmed through enhanced CT scan and PET-CT examination. The patient underwent successful retroperitoneal laparoscopic radical left nephrectomy and showed no local recurrence or metastasis at a 1-year follow-up.

Summary: We present a case of Talaromyces marneffei infection in a renal transplant recipient. The patient showed symptoms of intermittent diarrhea, leukopenia, high fever, cough, anemia, weight loss, gastrointestinal bleeding, and liver function impairment. Imaging studies revealed lung inflammation, lymphadenopathy, and hepatosplenomegaly. The presence of Talaromyces marneffei was confirmed by metagenomics next-generation sequencing and blood culture. The patient responded well to antifungal therapy and was discharged with regular oral voriconazole. This case highlights the importance of prompt diagnosis and effective antifungal treatment in improving the prognosis of Talaromyces marneffei infection after renal transplantation.

Summary: Inflammatory pseudotumor is rarely seen in renal immunoglobulin G4-related disease. A 65-year-old female was found to have a mass in the right kidney during a physical examination. Based on imaging findings and clinical manifestations, renal cell carcinoma was initially suspected. The patient ultimately underwent total nephrectomy, and the microscopic pathological examination revealed renal inflammatory pseudotumor. Combining medical history, clinical manifestations, and the unique characteristics on magnetic resonance imaging can improve the diagnosis rate for renal inflammatory pseudotumor.

Summary: This study presents a rare case of papillary renal neoplasm with reverse polarity (PRNRP) in a 30-year-old female patient with no clinical symptoms. The tumor was initially considered renal clear cell carcinoma but was confirmed as PRNRP through histopathology and immunohistochemistry. The study also includes a review of 97 identified cases of PRNRP from 1978 to 2022.

Summary: A case of misdiagnosed tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is reported in a patient without TSC gene variant but with bilateral renal angiomyolipomas and seizures, along with a strong family history of polycystic kidney disease. Clinical diagnosis of TSC was made, and treatment with everolimus reduced the size of renal angiomyolipomas. This case report discusses the association between TSC and polycystic kidney disease, as well as a novel treatment for TSC.

Summary: Renal fibrosarcoma is a rare tumor, and simultaneous occurrence with renal pelvic carcinoma is exceptionally rare. The diagnosis of fibrosarcoma relies on immunohistologic exclusion, and electron microscopy combined with light microscopy and IHC is helpful in diagnosis. Clinically, radical nephrectomy is the main strategy for localized renal fibrosarcoma. Further research is needed to better understand the etiology and therapeutic strategy of this rare tumor.

Summary: Microphthalmia-associated transcription factor renal cell cancer is an extremely rare non-clear-cell kidney neoplasm. The prognosis of operable patients depends on the status of regional lymph nodes, especially in adult patients. Radical surgical excision is the recommended treatment in early stages. There is currently no established optimal treatment strategy for locally advanced and metastatic disease.
