## BACKGROUND. Effusions in patients with renal cell carcinoma are rare; the clinicopathologic features of these patients have not been described fully. ## METHODS. All effusions from patients with renal cell carcinoma obtained between 1986 and 1997 at the study institution were reviewed.

โฆ Synopsis
BACKGROUND.
The papillary variant of renal cell carcinoma has distinctive pathologic and clinical features. Because the prognosis of patients with papillary renal cell carcinoma differs from that of patients with other variants of renal cell carcinoma, accurate diagnosis based on cytologic material may be important for appropriate clinical disease management.

## BACKGROUND. Angiomyolipoma is a benign kidney tumor with distinctive pathologic and clinical features. Because the prognosis differs from many other renal and retroperitoneal tumors, accurate diagnosis on cytologic material may be important for appropriate management.
We wish to report on a case of renal-cell carcinoma (RCC) occurring in a 9-yr-old female child, recently diagnosed by fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy. This girl was admitted with abdominal pain in the right lower quadrant. A right abdominal mass was detected, and abdominal CT scan showed an expa

Multiple hemi-and homozygous interstitial deletions at chromosome 3p have been found in different types of cancer, including non-papillary renal cell carcinoma (RCC). To determine the frequency and size of deletions, we have analyzed paired normal and tumor DNA obtained from short-term cultures of 1
