Summary
The 2022 WHO classification updates urinary and male genital tumor diagnoses. Key changes include revised papillary renal cell carcinoma subtypes and recognizing clear cell papillary tumors as benign.
Area of Science:
- Uropathology
- Oncology
- Histopathology
Context:
- The World Health Organization (WHO) released the 2022 classification of urinary and male genital tumors, incorporating recent scientific advancements.
- This classification is crucial for standardizing tumor diagnosis and treatment globally.
Purpose:
- To summarize the key updates and revised recommendations for histomorphologically defined tumors in the 2022 WHO classification.
- To highlight significant changes in the categorization of specific tumor types, particularly renal cell carcinomas.
Summary:
- The 2022 WHO classification has revised the categorization of papillary renal cell carcinoma, moving away from previous subtype classifications.
- Clear cell papillary tumors are now recognized as benign, no longer classified as carcinomas.
- Several novel renal tumors have been introduced in the latest edition.
Impact:
- These updates facilitate more accurate diagnoses and consistent reporting of urinary and male genital tumors.
- The revised classification aids in clinical decision-making and prognostic assessments.
- Standardized classification promotes better understanding and research in uropathology and oncology.

2
Renal calculi, or kidney stones, are solid deposits of minerals and salts formed inside the kidneys. In medical terminology, "calculus" refers to the stone itself, while "lithiasis" describes the process of stone formation. Depending on their location within the urinary system, these stones may be classified as either urolithiasis, when situated within the urinary tract, or nephrolithiasis, when located within the kidneys. Each term signifies the specific impact of the stone.Predisposition...

Tumor suppressor genes are normal genes that can slow down cell division, repair DNA mistakes, or program the cells for apoptosis in case of irreparable damage. Hence, they play an essential role in preventing the proliferation of damaged cells.
The first-ever tumor suppressor gene called Rb was identified in retinoblastoma - a rare eye tumor in children. In inherited forms of the disease, a child inherits one defective copy of the Rb gene, which predisposes them to retinoblastoma. However,...
