TFEB-rearranged renal cell carcinoma, also TFEB RCC, is a rare renal cell carcinoma recognized by the WHO classification.[1][2]

TFEB-rearranged renal cell carcinoma
Diagnosis in short

Renal cell carcinoma with morphology and IHC profile suggestive of TFEB RCC. H&E stain.

LM solid architecture with occasional rosette-like structures; two cell populations (1) large epithelioid cells with clear to eosinophilic cytoplasm, (2) small lymphocyte-like cells
LM DDx renal cell carcinoma, unclassified, angiomyolipoma (epithelioid), other renal tumours with eosinophilic cytoplasm
IHC TFEB +ve (nuclear staining), HMB-45 +ve, TFE3 -ve
Molecular TFEB rearrangement, t(6;11)(p21;q12) and others
Grossing notes total nephrectomy for tumour grossing, partial nephrectomy grossing
Staging kidney cancer staging
Site kidney - see kidney tumours

Clinical history typically children or young adults
Prevalence very rare ~ 2 dozen reported cases
Prognosis aggressive (?)
Clin. DDx other kidney tumours
Treatment nephrectomy

It was previously known as renal tumour with t(6;11) translocation, also t(6;11) renal cell carcinoma. It was first described in children.

It was added to WHO classification of renal neoplasia in the 2012 Vancouver modification.[3]

This entity should not be confused with ELOC-mutated renal cell carcinoma (previously known as TCEB1-mutated renal cell carcinoma).

General

  • Very rare - approximately 2 dozen reported cases as of 2014.[2][4]
  • Lymph node metastases are common.
  • Traditionally thought of as a pediatric tumour... but cases in adults are reported.[2][5]

Microscopic

Features:[6]

  • Solid with occasional rosette-like structures.
  • Two cell populations:
    1. Large epithelioid cells with clear to eosinophilic cytoplasm.
    2. Small lymphocyte-like cells.

IHC and morphology compatible

IHC

  • TFEB +ve (nuclear staining).
  • TFE3 -ve.
  • Melan A +ve (13 +ve of 13 cases[9]).
  • HMB-45 +ve (12 +ve of 13 cases[9]).
  • PAX8 +ve/-ve (14 +ve of 23[9]).
  • CAM5.2 +ve (8 +ve of 13[9]).
  • RCC +ve (10 +ve of 14[9]).
  • CD10 +ve (10 +ve of 14[9]).
  • Cathepsin K +ve.[citation needed]
  • PD-L1 +ve.[10]

Note:

  • Melan A and HMB-45 are considered a good screen for this entity and recommended for renal tumour with eosinophilic cytoplasm.

Molecular


Others translocations involving TFEB have been described:[10]

  • ACTB-TFEB.
  • NEAT1-TFEB.
