Sinonasal Renal Cell-Like Carcinoma: Case Report and Review of the Literature.

The differential diagnosis for clear cell neoplasms of the sinonasal tract is wide but critical to understand. In this paper, we describe a case of renal cell-like adenocarcinoma (SNRCLA) presenting as a paranasal sinus mass with clear cell morphology. The relevant literature is reviewed and the workup for clear cell neoplasms described. SNRCLA is a rarely encountered low grade glandular malignancy of the paranasal sinuses. Despite its morphologic mimicry of renal cell carcinoma, SNRCLA demonstrates a seromucinous phenotype and is associated with a favorable prognosis and low recurrence rates after surgical resection.
