Article Synopsis
- The incidence of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) has increased in recent years, largely due to more frequent imaging studies, and the 5-year survival rate has improved, possibly due to better surgical methods and medical treatments.
- A retrospective study analyzed 588 adult RCC patients treated from 2008 to 2019, focusing on clinical presentation, surgical outcomes, and management trends.
- Results showed a majority of cases were diagnosed incidentally, with robotic surgeries becoming more common, while no significant differences in survival rates were found by region or tumor type, though patients from Riyadh had higher recurrence times.

Article Synopsis
- Tubulocystic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a recently identified subtype known for its unique cystic structure and slow-growing nature.
- There have been limited studies on tubulocystic RCC, particularly cases featuring poorly differentiated areas.
- Some of these cases show loss of fumarate hydratase, which is linked to hereditary leiomyomatosis, although they are classified as distinct RCC subtypes by the WHO.
