Succinate dehydrogenase-deficient renal cell carcinoma, also succinate dehydrogenase renal cell carcinoma (abbreviated SDH-RCC), is a very rare type of renal cell carcinoma.

It is grouped in the emerging entities of the Vancouver modification of the 2004 WHO classification of renal neoplasia.[1]

General

  • Extremely rare - estimated to represent up to 0.2% of renal cell carcinomas.[2]
  • May be assocated with paraganglioma and familial, as with several SDH mutations.[3]
  • Primarily described with a SDHB mutation.[4]
    • SDHA has been described.[4]
    • SDHC has been described.[5]
  • Usually good prognosis.

Gross

  • Mass lesion - commonly cystic.

Microscopic

Features:[4]

  • Eosinophilic cells with clear (flocculent) cytoplasmic inclusions. ‡
  • Round nuclei with mildly granular chromatin pattern.
  • Intratumoural mast cells - usu. not prominent.
  • Solid architecture - typical.

IHC

Features:

  • SDHB -ve (11 of 11 cases[4]).
    • Normal tubules +ve.
    • May be (pseudo)negative in clear cells (as few mitochondria).
  • CD117 -ve - important.

Others:

  • PAX8 +ve.
  • EMA +ve (10/10[4]).
  • CK7 -ve (1 +ve/35<name=pmid25025441/>).
  • AE1/AE3 -ve/+ve (4 +ve/10[4]).
  • CK20 -ve.
  • CD10 usually focal (most common) or -ve.[2]
