Objectives: Thyroid-like follicular carcinoma of the kidney continues to confound the practicing pathologist with its close resemblance to the follicular variant of thyroid carcinoma, as well as other benign and malignant entities. Our goal is to expand the knowledge of this rare renal cell carcinoma subtype, which is morphologically similar to follicular carcinoma of the thyroid but lacks expression of characteristic thyroid immunohistochemical markers such as TTF-1 and thyroglobulin.
Methods: We evaluated the gross, histologic, immunohistochemical, and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) studies of a new case and performed a comprehensive review of the literature.
