Renal tumour with Xp11.2 translocation, also Xp11.2 translocation carcinoma, is an uncommon malignant kidney tumour.

TFE3-rearranged renal cell carcinoma
Diagnosis in short

Xp11.2 translocation carcinoma. H&E stain.
LM large cells with clear or eosinophilic cytoplasm, calcification (classic histomorphologic feature), +/-papillae, +/-nests, +/-psammoma bodies (common), +/-hyaline bodies (common)
LM DDx clear cell renal cell carcinoma, papillary renal cell carcinoma, epithelioid angiomyolipoma, clear cell papillary renal cell carcinoma
IHC TFE3 +ve (nucleus), CD10 +ve, vimentin +ve, CK7 -ve (usu.)
Molecular translocation involving TFE3, e.g. t(X;1)(p11.2;q21)
Site kidney - see kidney tumours
Prevalence rare
Prognosis poor
Clin. DDx other kidney tumours

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.

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 & Melan A -ve.
  • EMA usually -ve.[8]
  • CD117 -ve (0 +ve/21 cases[8]).
  • CK (pooled) -ve.[8] (???)
  • WT1 -ve (0 +ve/21 cases[8]).

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.

Molecular

The most common are:[9]
