Abstract

Progress in the diagnostics based on morphology and immunohistochemistry, genetic and molecular methods has led to the identification of new entities in renal tumor pathology. Therefore the International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP) recommended modifications of the WHO 2004 renal tumor classification and called it ISUP Vancouver Modification of WHO (2004) Histologic Classification of Kidney Tumors which is officially published in new“ blue book“, The 2016 WHO Classification of Tumours of the Urinary System and Male Genital Organs. The aim of this article was to briefly introduce a new classification of renal cell carcinoma and new tumor entities identified by their histological and genetic characteristics. We also wanted to focus attention on the importance of those characteristics that determine the tumor grade and the stage of the disease, which have prognostic significance. The new classification will allow pathologists to harmonize their reports, and other disciplines to understand the changes in the findings of the pathologist.
