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]
- 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.
Notes:
- ‡ Occasional cells may look like signet ring cells.
- Typically low ISUP nucleolar grade.
- May be sarcomatoid.
DDx:
- Renal oncocytoma - granular cytoplasm.
- Chromophobe renal cell carcinoma.
- Clear cell renal cell carcinoma.
- Other renal tumours with eosinophilic cytoplasm.

Case 3
Pictures demonstrates the variability between different regions of the tumour:
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]
