Chromophobe renal cell carcinoma
Diagnosis in short

Chromophobe renal cell carcinoma showing the characteristic perinuclear clearing and distinctive (plant-like) cellular borders. H&E stain.

LM pale/clear (or eosinophilic) cytoplasm with wisps of eosinophilic material, perinuclear clearing (a pale halo surrounds the nucleus), periphery of cell distinct (cell membrane is easy to discern -- plant cell-like)
Subtypes classic, eosinophilic variant
LM DDx clear cell renal cell carcinoma (classic), renal oncocytoma, clear cell renal cell carcinoma eosinophilic variant
Stains Hale's colloidal iron (Mueller-Mowry stain) +ve
IHC CK7 +ve cell membrane, CD117 +ve, vimentin -ve
Gross grey-beige, lacks central scar
Grossing notes total nephrectomy for tumour grossing, partial nephrectomy grossing
Site kidney - see renal tumours

Syndromes Birt–Hogg–Dubé syndrome

Prevalence relatively common
Clin. DDx other renal tumours
Treatment surgical resection

Chromophobe renal cell carcinoma, abbreviated ChRCC, is a relatively common form of renal cell carcinoma.

General

Subtypes

There are two subtypes:[3]

  • Classic.
  • Eosinophilic variant.

Gross

  • Grey-beige colour.[4]
  • Solitary, usually.‡
  • Well-circumscribed.

Note:

  • ‡ Approximately 3% are multifocal.[5]

Microscopic

Classic

Features - classic type (3 P's memory device):[6][3]

  • Pale cytoplasm, with wisps of eosinophilic material; the cells are not completely clear, they have "cobwebs".
  • Perinuclear clearing, i.e. a pale halo surrounds the nucleus - key feature.
  • Periphery of cell distinct, i.e. cell membrane is easy to discern.

Notes:

  • May have psammoma bodies.
  • May be described as "plant-like"; plant cells have (thick) cell walls.
  • The perinuclear clearing is often somewhat patchy, i.e. it is usually not present in very tumour cell.

DDx:

  • Clear cell RCC (classic).
    • Perinuclear clearing is not seen in clear cell RCC.
    • ChRCC has wisps in the cytoplasm.

Eosinophilic variant

Features - eosinophilic variant:[3]

  • Eosinophilic (finely granular) cytoplasm.
  • Perinuclear clearing - key feature.
  • Periphery of cell distinct.
  • Smaller cells than classic subtype.

Notes:

  1. May have psammoma bodies.

DDx:

  1. Oncocytoma - particularly the eosinophilic variant.
    • IHC may be useful to differentiate (CK7: oncocytoma = cytoplasm +ve, chromophobe = cell membrane +ve).
    • A comparison based on histomorphology: Tabular comparison between ChRCC & oncocytoma.
      • Oncocytoma typically has: no perinuclear clearing, no raisinoid nuclei, no binucleation.
  2. Clear cell RCC, eosinophilic variant.
    • Perinuclear clearing is not seen in clear cell RCC.
    • ChRCC has wisps in the cytoplasm.

Stains

Note:

  • This seems to be a difficult stain to get working.

Images

IHC

  • CK7 +ve cell membrane.[3]
    • Useful for differentiating from oncocytoma.
  • CD117 +ve.
  • Vimentin -ve.[8][9]

Uncommon stains for ChRCC versus oncocytoma:

  • PAX2 -ve .[10]
    • ChRCC 10 of 11 -ve versus Oncocytoma 3 of 23 -ve.
  • Amylase α-1A -ve.[11]

ChRCC versus clear cell RCC

ISUP recommends:[12]

  • CD117 +ve.
    • -ve in CCRCC.
  • CAIX (carbonic anhydrase CA IX) -ve.
    • +ve (strong membranous) in CCRCC.[13]
  • CK7 +ve.
    • -ve in CCRCC.

Molecular

  • Extensive aneusomy (monosomy?):[14]
    • Loss of chromosomes: 1, 2, 6, 10, 13, 17, 21.

Sign out

KIDNEY, RIGHT UPPER POLE, PARTIAL NEPHRECTOMY:
- CHROMOPHOBE RENAL CELL CARCINOMA.

COMMENT:
The sections show a mix of clear cells with wispy cytoplasm, and cells with eosinophilic
cytoplasm and perinuclear halos. There are no true papillae. 

Stains and immunostains:
Positive: CK7, CAM5.2, EMA, pankeratin, CD117, colloidal iron.
Negative: AMACR, CD10, CD68, RCC, vimentin.
