Renal hybrid oncocytic/chromophobe tumour, also hybrid oncocytic/chromophobe tumour (abbreviated HOCT) and hybrid tumour, is a rare kidney tumour with features of chromophobe renal cell carcinoma and renal oncocytoma.[1]
General
- Rare.
- Molecular heterogeneous group[1] - may represent several different entities.
May be seen in several contexts:[1]
- Sporadic.
- Birt–Hogg–Dubé syndrome.
- Renal oncocytosis.
Microscopic
Three morphologic patterns as per Hes et al.:[1]
- Renal oncocytoma and chromophobe renal cell carcinoma collision tumour.
- Different fields viewed in isolation would be compatible with the different diagnoses. Tumour component do not intermingle.
- Renal oncocytoma with scattered chromophobe cells.
- Large eosinophilic cell with intracytoplasmic vacuoles.
DDx:
- Renal oncocytoma - may have limited chromophobe-like areas (<=5% of tumour).[2]
- Chromophobe renal cell carcinoma, eosinophilic variant.
- Other renal tumours with eosinophilic cytoplasm.
IHC
Features:[1]
- CD117 +ve (practically definitional).
- CK7 +ve (usually).
