Background:
The latest edition of the WHO classification of urinary and male genital tumours was published in 2022. The revision was based on the newest scientific literature. This article summarizes the updated recommendations regarding the classification of histomorphologically defined tumours.

Papillary renal cell carcinoma is no longer categorized into two subtypes. Also, the new classification recognized the benign nature of clear cell papillary tumours, which are no longer regarded as carcinomas. Finally, several emerging renal tumours were introduced.
