Clear cell papillary renal cell carcinoma, abbreviated CCPRCC, is recently described type of renal cell carcinoma.

It is also known as clear cell tubulopapillary renal cell carcinoma,[1] abbreviated CCTPRCC.

General

Microscopic

Features:[1]

  • Some features of both:
    1. Clear cell RCC.
      • Clear cells.
    2. Papillary RCC.
      • Pseudopapillae - often do not have true papillae.
  • Apical nuclei - should be predominant ‡ - key feature.[6]
    • In most glandular structures the nuclei are usu. basally located, i.e. in the cytoplasm adjacent to the basement membrane.
  • Tubular and/or cystic architecture.

Notes: ‡

DDx:

Note:

  • Renal angiomyoadenomatous tumour has been proposed as separate entity.[7] The Vancouver modification of the WHO classification does not consider it a separate entity; it lumps it with clear cell papillary renal cell carcinoma.

IHC

Features:[1]

  • CK7 +ve - esp. diffuse.[8]
    • Usually -ve (or patchy) in clear cell RCC.
  • CD10 -ve (0 +ve/9 cases in one series[1]).
    • Usually +ve in clear cell RCC.
    • Positive in Xp11.2 translocation carcinoma.[9]
  • TFE3 -ve.
  • AMACR -ve.
  • Smooth muscle actin +ve (focal).[10]

Others:[1]

  • HIF-1alpha +ve.
  • GLUT-1 +ve.
  • CA9 +ve (cup-shaped pattern).[11]

How to remember: The two key stains are opposite of what the name implies.

  • Clear cell RCC: CK7 negative. In this tumour it is the opposite - CK7 is positive.
  • Papillary RCC: AMACR positive. In this tumour it is the opposite - AMACR is negative.
