Solid Variant of Papillary Cystadenoma
of the Epididymis Mimicking Metastatic
Clear Cell Renal Carcinoma
Shaun Rees and Majid Rashid
Papillary Cystadenomas of the Epididymis (PCE) are benign neoplasms of the epididymis. Their appearance can often be confused with that of a metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma (clear cell RCC) due to similar appearances under microscopy. Here, we report a case of a 65 year old diabetic male, who presented with a rare solid variant of PCE; whereby normal papillary or cystic structures were absent. We then performed a wider immunohistochemical profile in comparison to a similar case reported in 2014 (Yang, et al.).
