Renal tumour with Xp11.2 translocation, also Xp11.2 translocation carcinoma and Xp11 translocation renal cell carcinoma, is an uncommon malignant kidney tumour in the MiT family translocation renal cell carcinoma.

It should not be confused with renal tumour with t(6;11) translocation (also known as TFEB RCC), another translocation carcinoma found in the kidney that is also in the MiT family translocation renal cell carcinoma.

General

  • Defined by the presence of a fusion gene formed with TFE3 @ Xp11.2.
  • TFE3 is the gene involved in the translocation seen in alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS).
  • Poor prognosis - majority Stage III or Stage IV.[1]
  • ~1/3 of childhood RCC.[2]

Microscopic

Features:[3]

  • Large cells.
  • Clear or eosinophilic cytoplasm.
  • Papillae or nests.
  • Psammoma bodies - common.[4]
    • Calcification is considered the classic histomorphologic feature.
  • Hyaline bodies - common.

Case 1

  • Xp11.2 translocation RCC - intermed. mag. (WC/Nephron)

  • Xp11.2 translocation RCC - high mag. (WC/Nephron)

  • Xp11.2 translocation RCC - very high mag. (WC/Nephron)

Case 2

  • TCK - low mag.

  • TCK - intermed. mag.

  • TCK - high mag.

  • TCK - high mag.

  • TCK - very high mag.

IHC

Key stains - as per ISUP:[5]

  • TFE3 +ve (nucleus).[3] ‡
  • TFEB +ve.
  • Cathepsin K +ve.[6]

Others:

  • CD10 +ve.
  • Vimentin +ve.
  • CK7 -ve.
    • Positive in ~20% of cases.[7]
  • HMB-45 -ve.
  • Melan A -ve/+ve.[8]
  • EMA usually -ve.[9]
  • CD117 -ve (0 +ve/21 cases[9]).
  • CK (pooled) -ve.[9] (???)
  • WT1 -ve (0 +ve/21 cases[9]).
  • PAX8 +ve (16 +ve/21[9]).

Notes:

  • Poor man's panel - if one doesn't have the more informative stains:
    • CK (pooled), EMA, Melan A, HMB-45, CK7, AMACR, CD10, vimentin.
  • ‡ The IHC (in comparsion to FISH) has both false negatives and false positives; in one study by Qu et al. the false positive rate was 7% (2/30) and false negative rate was 4% (2/46).[10]
