Abstract
The 5th edition WHO (World Health Organization) classification of the urogenital tract tumors was published in the middle of last year (so-called blue book). The new WHO classification reflects very dynamic developments in the field of renal neoplasms (caused mainly by the more frequent implementation of molecular genetic testing into the routine diagnosis of kidney tumors), and the new WHO classification shows changes especially in the chapter on renal tumors.
The new kidney tumor classification modifies some traditional entities and also redefines and includes some new kidney tumors. This review article aims to briefly outline and comment on the most significant changes in the WHO classification of renal neoplasia.
