Histopathologic analysis of tumor bed and peritumoral pseudocapsule after in vitro tumor enucleation on radical nephrectomy specimen for clinical T1b renal cell carcinoma

For clinical T1b renal cell carcinoma, the risks of tumor infiltration or satellite lesions on enucleation tumor bed or both are relatively low. Peritumoral PC invasion is associated with tumor size and pathologic stage. Tumor enucleation is a histopathologically safe technique for patients undergoing partial nephrectomy.
