Papillary renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is no longer divided into type 1 and type 2. Type 1 is now called “classic” variant and type 2 doesn´t exist anymore. There were long discussion about problematic type 2. According to WHO 2022 the correct name is papillary RCC (and subtype/variant should be mentioned in the description). Another important change came for clear cell papillary RCC. Because there is no convincing evidence that genuine clear cell papillary RCC can produce recurrences or metastases, it is now termed as clear cell papillary tumor. All previously reported aggressive cases are now considered misclassified clear cell RCC (mostly) or other entities. In less typical cases, genetic support of diagnosis with complex analysis of VHL gene should be added. New category “other oncocytic tumors” emerged for tumors from gray zone between renal oncocytoma and chromophobe RCC. Term hybrid oncocytic tumor should be reserved for those with hereditary Birth-Hogg-Dubé syndrome. Emerging entities, like eosinophilic vacuolated tumor (EVT) and oncocytic low-grade tumor (LOT) are mentioned, however, more work is needed for better establishment of the criteria. There is a new category of “molecularly defined renal carcinomas”, where MITf translocation RCCs are divided into TFE3 rearranged RCC with fusion partner dependent morphologic variability, and to TFEB rearranged RCC. In this group, indolent TFEB translocated RCCs are recognized, as well as potentionally aggressive RCC with TFEB gene amplification. In WHO 2016, ALK rearranged RCC was considered as emerging entity. In WHO 2022 it is listed among “molecularly defined RCC” as a distinct renal tumor with broad morphologic spectrum dependent partly on fusion partners. ELOC (TCEB1) mutated RCC is renal tumor composed of clear cell elements and huge fibromyomatous stroma. Diagnostic approach should be complex with support of immunohistochemistry (including CK7) and molecular genetic approach. However, there is overlap with MTOR pathway genes mutated RCC with fibromyomatous stroma.

In this paper, we report a case of a young man with a slowly growing subcutaneous tumor in the groin.

The CD34 immunohistochemistry showed strong positivity in all of these cells, whereas ERG was positive only in endothelial cells in true vessels. These findings led to a suspicion on giant cell fibroblastoma. Because of its borderline malignant behaviour and positive surgical margins, the lesion was subsequently reexcised.

Classification of germ cell tumors remains the same as in the previous edition, dividing germ cell tumors into those derived from germ cell neoplasia in situ (GCNIS) and those independent of GCNIS. The group of GCNIS derived germ cell tumors is essentially unchanged. Most remarkable change was made to the chapter teratoma with somatic malignancy. Primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET), a particular type of somatic malignancy arising in the setting of teratoma, is currently termed embryonic-type neuroectodermal tumor (ENET). Diagnostic criteria for teratoma with somatic type malignancy have been mildly modified. Seminoma now belongs to the group of germinomas. There is one novel entity in the category of germ cell tumors independent of GCNIS, namely testicular neuroendocrine tumor, prepubertal type. Similar to other organ systems, the term carcinoid is no longer used. Two new entities were introduced in the category of sex cord stromal tumors: myoid gonadal stromal tumor and signet ring stromal tumor. Diagnostic criteria for malignant sex cord stromal tumors were moderately changed. Mitotic activity is now assessed according to mm2 instead of historical assessment according to the number of mitoses per high power fields. There is a new separate chapter named Genetic tumor syndromes. Intratubular large cell hyalinizing Sertoli cell neoplasia which arises exclusively in patients with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, now belongs here. Large cell calcifying Sertoli cell tumor occurs as a hereditary tumor in patients with Carney complex as well as sporadically.
