Chromophobe renal cell carcinoma, abbreviated ChRCC, is a relatively common form of renal cell carcinoma.
General
- Least common of the common types of RCC (clear cell RCC, papillary RCC, chromophobe RCC).
- ISUP nucleolar grading (replaces Fuhrman grading) not done for this entity, as it does not appear to have any predictive value.[1]
- May be associated with Birt–Hogg–Dubé syndrome.[2]
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.

ChRCC - very high mag. (WC/Nephron)

Eosinophilic variant
Features - eosinophilic variant:[3]
- Eosinophilic (finely granular) cytoplasm.
- Perinuclear clearing - key feature.
- Periphery of cell distinct.
- Smaller cells than classic subtype.
Notes:
- May have psammoma bodies.
DDx:
- 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.
- Clear cell RCC, eosinophilic variant.
- Perinuclear clearing is not seen in clear cell RCC.
- ChRCC has wisps in the cytoplasm.

Stains
- Hale's colloidal iron +ve (blue granular cytoplasmic).
- Oncocytoma -ve.
Note:
- This seems to be a difficult stain to get working.
Images
- ChRCC Hale's colloidal iron - several images (nature.com).
- ChRCC Hale's colloidal iron (ultrapath.org).[7]
- ChRCC Hale's colloidal iron (diagnosticpathology.org).
IHC
- CK7 +ve cell membrane.[3]
- Useful for differentiating from oncocytoma.
- CD117 +ve.
- Vimentin -ve.[8][9]
Uncommon stains for ChRCC versus oncocytoma:
ChRCC versus clear cell RCC
- 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.
