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.
  • Prognosis good - based on one series of 11 cases.[2]

May be seen in several contexts:[1]

Microscopic

Three morphologic patterns as per Hes et al.:[1]

  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.
  2. Renal oncocytoma with scattered chromophobe cells.
  3. Large eosinophilic cell with intracytoplasmic vacuoles.

Features:[2]

IHC

Features:

  • CD117 +ve (practically definitional[1]).
  • CK7 +ve - often variable/patchy (oncocytoma-like).[2]

Others:

  • Vimentin -ve.
  • EMA +ve.
  • CD10 +ve.
  • PAX8 +ve.
