A MR image of ESC RCC1; B Gross features of ESC RCC1, showing brownish color and prevalently cystic aspect; C Histologically, ESC RCC1 recapitulated the macroscopic features with macrocysts and microcysts admixed with more solid foci; D ESC RCC2 showed overlapping histological features with ESC RCC1, with cystic areas showing septa lined by cells with voluminous eosinophilic cytoplasm with cytoplasmic “stippling”; E ESC RCC3 was characterized by a solid growth with medium-sized neoplastic cells with sparse histiocytes; F ESC RCC4 also showed cells with voluminous eosinophilic cytoplasm, often vacuolated, and sparse macrophages and lymphocytes.
