AC 01
Female 63 years
Left renal mass. Left partial nephrectomy.
Specimen: Left partial nephrectomy.
Macro: Wedge of kidney measures 30 x 30mm across the margin and up to 25mm thick with attached peri-nephric fat up to 45mm in length. The specimen has been incised prior to receipt which may affect assessment of margins. On slicing there is a well-circumscribed nodule which is partially exophytic measuring 20 x 18 x 20mm. The margin appears to be 2mm. The margin appears to be 2mm.
Immunohistochemistry:
None performed.
AC 02
Male 40 years
Presented with testicular torsion 2 weeks ago. Declined treatment initially but returned with ongoing symptoms.
Specimen: Orchidectomy.

AC 03
Male 64 years
Right lower pole renal tumour.
Specimen: Right nephrectomy.
Macro: A right kidney with attached perinephric fat 13.5 x 7.5 x 6cm and 5cm of normal ureter, weighing 410g. The adrenal is not present. The kidney is 12.5 x 6.2 x 4.8cm. Occupying the lower pole of the kidney is a firm solid yellow tumour 4.5 x 4.3 x 4.8cm. There is a white glistening myxoid area and probable areas of necrosis. The tumour appears to push and expand into the renal capsule, but it does not obviously invade across it. Anteriorly the tumour has a slightly irregular outline and bulges of tumour appear to extend into the perinephric fat, but they may be confined within an attenuated renal capsule. At the lower pole of the tumour there are three plastic and two metal clips on the outer surface of the perinephric fat. There are possible tongues of slightly yellow/beige tumour within distended renal vein tributaries superior to the tumour within the kidney. No hilar nodes identified.
Immunohistochemistry:
None.
