The pathophysiology of renal<unk><unk> s plays an important role in differentiating between the types of renal<unk><unk> s and in choosing appropriate targeted medical therapies. Sporadic forms of clear<unk>  renal<unk> s, the most common form of renal<unk><unk> s, have similar pathophysiological mechanisms to those of von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease. On the other hand, MET proto-oncogene seems to play a role in the disease pathogenesis of papillary forms of renal<unk><unk> . Uniquely also, oncocytomas are benign tumors that arise from type A intercalated<unk> s, whereas chromophobe renal<unk><unk>  arises from type B intercalated<unk> s.
