    A unique subtype of biphasic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) was recently described and termed biphasic hyalinizing psammomatous RCC (BHPRCC). This tumor shows a dual population of larger cells and small cells surrounding basement membrane–like materials and invariably has papillary features, hyalinized stroma, and psammoma calcifications. The biphasic pattern in BHPRCC may resemble that of RCC associated with TFEB gene fusion or t (6;11) RCC. However, all reported BHPRCCs had no TFEB alterations and all were associated with neurofibromin 2 (NF2) mutations. Herein, we present three biphasic RCCs encompassing the reported BHPRCC morphologies. One RCC showed solid, nested, papillary, and tubular growths, with biphasic pattern of larger cells surrounding clusters of smaller cells arranged around basement membrane–like materials, and harbored NF2 mutation consistent with BHPRCC. This patient developed bone metastasis 59 months after surgery. The two other biphasic RCCs showed morphologic overlap to BHPRCC, but in addition had other features not seen in BHPRCC, such as lack of papillary pattern, having large tubules containing mucinous to collagenous spherules (mucicarmine and collagen IV positive) bordered by a single layer of small cells with occasional central targetoid psammoma bodies, and with widespread nuclear grooves. Interestingly, these two tumors also did not show alterations in NF2 or TFEB including translocation or amplification. In conclusion, we report another example of the novel BHPRCC that had metastasized and two biphasic RCCs not associated with NF2 or TFEB alterations; the latter two shared additional distinct morphological features and may represent a unique biphasic RCC distinct from the novel BHPRCC. •This is a report of unique biphasic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) with no pathogenic molecular alterations.•This is the first report of RCC with grooved nuclei and luminal mucinous to collagenous spherules.•This is the first report of a biphasic hyalinizing psammomatous RCC with BAP1 mutation and with adverse prognosis.
