Report of two primary renal tumors with myxoid features. Differential diagnosis between benign and malignant entities

Renal mesenchymal neoplasms are rare entities which can have a benign or a malignant behavior. Herein we describe two renal mesenchymal tumors with myxoid stroma, investigating the wide spectrum of differential diagnosis. With our first case we considered some benign entities such as myxoma, myxoid leiomyoma, and mixed epithelial and stromal tumor; with our second case we considered some sarcomas with myxoid features such as myxofibrosarcoma, low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma, dedifferentiated liposarcoma, and myxoid liposarcoma. During the diagnostic process, it is important to integrate histopathological, immunohistochemical, and molecular data in order to avoid misdiagnosis. We concluded our second case report was a myxofibrosarcoma grade 1. To the best of our knowledge, we described the fourth primary renal myxofibrosarcoma reported in literature.
