USCAP Unusual But Non-Esoteric Tumors of the Genitourinary Tract 2026 — the GU cases that sit outside the big four
The USCAP Unusual But Non-Esoteric Tumors of the Genitourinary Tract From Which You Cannot Hide 2026 course looks past clear cell RCC, conventional urothelial carcinoma, acinar prostate cancer and germ cell tumours to the rarer lesions every surgical pathologist eventually signs out. Four GU specialists — Maria Tretiakova, John Cheville, Gladell Paner and Rafael Jimenez — split kidney, bladder, prostate, testis and paratestis between them in eight focused lectures. Released on 6 February 2026, it comes as 8 videos with 18 PDF handouts.

What you’ll be able to do
- Consider non-RCC entities when a renal mass does not fit the usual patterns
- Apply the newer and refined renal cell carcinoma subtypes and explain why they matter clinically
- Recognise divergent differentiation in urothelial carcinoma and non-urothelial bladder cancers
- Separate benign from malignant spindle cell lesions of bladder and prostate
- Identify neuroendocrine differentiation and non-acinar carcinoma in prostate specimens
- Work up non-germ cell testicular and paratesticular tumours with morphology, stains and molecular tests
Inside the course
Kidney beyond clear cell
Tretiakova opens with masses that turn out not to be renal cell carcinoma at all, and Cheville follows with the recently described and redefined RCC subtypes and their implications for oncologists.
Bladder and urinary tract
Paner maps urothelial subtypes, divergent differentiation and the non-urothelial carcinomas, while Cheville returns for a dedicated talk on bladder spindle cell proliferations.
Unusual Genitourinary Tract tumours of the prostate
Jimenez covers neuroendocrine change and non-acinar carcinomas; Paner then handles acinar variants, prostatic spindle cell lesions and a miscellany of odd findings.
Testis and its neighbours
The course closes with sex cord–stromal and other non-germ cell testicular neoplasms, then the paratesticular lesions that often arrive with little clinical warning.

Before you buy
How large is the GU tumours download?
The file size was not recorded for this course; expect eight lecture videos plus 18 PDFs.
Is this a full GU pathology review?
No. It deliberately skips the common tumour of each organ and concentrates on the less frequent entities and their mimics.
Do I get CME credit or a certificate?
No. Clinicapedia provides the educational content only — no CME or CE credits, MOC points or certificates of completion are included with this product.
