Sullivan Nicolaides Pathology, Brisbane, Australia

 A 52-year- old female presented with a two week history of right flank pain and gross hematuria. An ultrasound scan revealed a 5.5 cm mixed solid and cystic tumor in the lower pole of the right kidney. This was thought to be a renal cell carcinoma. There was no clinical or radiological evidence of metastatic cancer. A radical nephrectomy was performed. Involving the lower part of the kidney, there were several masses of tumor, the largest of which was partly cavitated. The tumor involved predominantly the medulla, with some involvement of the cortex and extension into the renal sinus and renal vein. The cut surface of the tumor was fleshy and white with haemorrhage and necrosis.

If there are glass slides for a conference, they will be available for study in the microscope room in the Convention Center Room 101 for participants who wish to review them prior to the evening session.

Handouts for all Specialty Conferences will be accessible via the
"Educational Materials" section on the homepage the morning after each respective conference. Printed
copies of the handout will not be available at the meeting. However, we will provide a booklet at the
meeting which will have a page for each Specialty Conference, listing the names of speakers and space for the important "take home messages".
