Tumors of the kidneys: New entities

Since 1998 new entities have surfaced in renal tumor classification and have been included in the WHO 2004 classification. In this article, we will discuss the following entities: multilocular clear cell renal carcinoma, Xp11 translocation carcinoma, low grade mucinous tubular carcinoma, epithelioid angiomyolipoma, benign mixed epithelial and stromal tumor. We will investigate new concepts of hybrid oncocytoma and chromophobe renal cell carcinoma and the syndrome of Birt-Hogg-Dube which is associated to kidney tumors. At least, we will touch on new elements in the Bellini carcinoma definition.
