ABSTRACT
Image guided fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) for the diagnosis of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is well established diagnostic tool and is being increasingly utilised for early diagnosis and grading of renal tumors. It also helps in determining the operability of renal tumors. The exact diagnosis is possible on account of characteristic cellular features of RCC and its variants. Since the emergence of new RCC entities, their cytological features also need to be defined. Cytological features of newer subtypes of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) have added to a trend of increasing diagnostic accuracy, thus emphasizing the role of cytological sampling in management and personalisation of therapy. We hereby present a case of 68 years old patient in whom a renal mass was discovered incidentally and subsequently a USG guided FNAC was performed which revealed classical cytological features of clear cell papillary renal cell carcinoma (CCPRCC).
Key words: Clear cell Papillary Carcinoma, Macrophages, Fine needle aspiration cytology
