Abstract:
The incidence of renal cell neoplasms has been increased in worldwide as well as in Korea. Even though the World Health Organization (WHO) Classification of renal tumors (2004) is currently used, new entities require to be added in the updated classification because of recent modification with our understanding of the molecular biology and different clinical behavior of new renal tumors. In this review, recently described tumors and candidate entities will be discussed. It is of importance to know these new entities for the proper diagnosis, treatment, and their prognosis.
