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

General

Subtypes

There are two subtypes:[4]

  • Classic.
  • Eosinophilic variant.

Gross

  • Grey-beige colour.[5]
  • Solitary, usually.‡
  • Well-circumscribed.

Note:

  • ‡ Approximately 3% are multifocal.[6]

Microscopic

Classic

Features - classic type (3 P's memory device):[7][4]

  • 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.

Images

  • ChRCC - low mag. (WC/Nephron)

  • ChRCC - intermed. mag. (WC/Nephron)

  • ChRCC - high mag. (WC/Nephron)

  • ChRCC - very high mag. (WC/Nephron)

  • ChRCC - high mag. (WC/Nephron)

  • ChRCC - very high mag. (WC/Nephron)

Eosinophilic variant

Features - eosinophilic variant:[4]

  • 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.
  3. Other renal tumours with eosinophilic cytoplasm.

Images

Case 1

  • Eosinophilic chromophobe RCC. (WC/Nephron)

Case 2

  • EVChRCC - low mag.

  • EVChRCC - intermed. mag.

  • EVChRCC - intermed. mag.

  • EVChRCC - high mag.

  • EVChRCC - very high mag.

  • EVChRCC - very high mag.

Stains

Note:

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

Images

IHC

  • CK7 +ve cell membrane.[4]
    • Useful for differentiating from oncocytoma.
  • CD117 +ve.
  • Vimentin -ve.[9][10]
  • DOG1 +ve (32 +ve of 32 cases).[11]
    • Useful in ChRCC versus clear cell RCC.

Uncommon stains for ChRCC versus oncocytoma:

  • PAX2 -ve .[12]
    • ChRCC 10 of 11 -ve versus Oncocytoma 3 of 23 -ve.
  • Amylase α-1A -ve.[13]

ChRCC versus clear cell RCC

ISUP recommends:[14]

  • CD117 +ve.
    • -ve in CCRCC.
  • CAIX (carbonic anhydrase CA IX) -ve.
    • +ve (strong membranous) in CCRCC.[15]
  • CK7 +ve.
    • -ve in CCRCC.

Molecular

  • Extensive aneusomy (monosomy?):[16]
    • Loss of chromosomes: 1, 2, 6, 10, 13, 17, 21.

EM

Ultrastructural features:[17]

  • Microvesicles.
  • Complex plicated cell membrane.

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.
