TFE3‐rearranged renal cell carcinoma (RCC) has been categorized as a molecularly defined renal carcinoma in the 2022 WHO classification of tumors as it does not demonstrate a specific genotype–phenotype correlation. However, in order to arrive at the diagnosis, recognition of the broad spectrum of cytologic and histologic features that can be seen in TFE3‐rearranged RCC is important for differential diagnostic consideration. Reported here is the diagnostic workup of a TFE3‐rearranged RCC using very limited tissue sample. The initial evaluation was dependent on the cytomorphologic findings observed on a touch preparation made from the renal mass biopsy, directing appropriate selection of ancillary tests, and leading to a definitive diagnosis.
