Low-grade oncocytic renal tumour, abbreviated LOT, is an unusual renal tumour that does not neatly fit into any WHO renal neoplasia category. It is also known as renal oncocytic tumour that is CD117 negative and CK7 positive.

Low-grade oncocytic tumour directs to here.

Whether it is a distinct entity is not clear as of 2019.[1] It can be considered an emerging entity that may be in the WHO classification of renal neoplasia in the future.[2]

General

  • Very rare.
  • Benign behaviour based on a small series.[1]

Microscopic

Features:[3]

  • Oncocytic cytoplasm.
  • Round nuclei.
  • Tubular or solid architecture.
  • Edematous areas with loosly arranged cells.
  • Low ISUP nucleolar grade - grade 1 or 2.

IHC

Features:[4]

  • CK7 +ve.
  • GATA3 +ve.
    • GATA3 very rarely positive in RCCs (1/71 clear cell RCC, 0/53 papillary RCC, 2/33 chromophobe RCC).[5]
    • GATA3 occasionally positive in renal oncocytoma (9/47 cases).[5]
  • PAX8 +ve.
  • CD117 -ve.

Others:

  • CD10 -ve/+ve.
  • AMACR -ve/+ve.
  • CA9 -ve.
  • CK20 -ve.
  • CD10 -ve.
  • L1CAM +ve.[6]

Right Kidney Mass, Biopsy:
- Low-grade oncocytic tumour (see comment).

Comment:
The tumour stains as follows:
POSITIVE: CK7 (strong, diffuse), PAX8 (strong, diffuse), AE1/AE3, GATA-3 (moderate, diffuse).
NEGATIVE: CD117, CD10, CK20, vimentin, CA9.

It is in keeping with "low-grade oncocytic tumour" (LOT), an evolving entity. Based on limited data, LOT appears to have an indolent behavior.  

This tumour does not fit the diagnosis of renal oncocytoma or eosinophilic chromophobe renal cell carcinoma.
