Acquired cystic disease-associated renal cell carcinoma: an immunohistochemical and fluorescence in situ hybridization study

Abstract

Acquired cystic disease (ACD)-associated renal cell carcinoma (RCC) has been recently identified. However, there are only a few genetic studies to date.

In this article, we performed an immunohistochemical and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) study for six cases including one case with sarcomatoid change. As a result, we observed frequent immunohistochemical expression of AMACR.
