Abstract：

Objectives To explore the clinical, pathological features and prognosis of patients with chromophobe renal cell carcinoma. Methods From January 1998 to January 2008, clinical data of 29 patients with chromophobe renal cell carcinoma including clinical manifestations, imaging examinations,treatment models, pTNM stages and follow-up results, were summarized to investigate its features and prognosis. Results All cases had no obvious clinical and preoperative imaging presentation. There were 23 patients underwent radical nephrectomy, and 6 cases underwent nephron sparing surgery. Postoperative pathological findings confirmed the diagnosis of chromophobe renal cell carcinoma. Macroscopically, the cut surface of the tumors were generally beige in color. Histologically, it showed polygonal chromophobe cells and small round eosinophilic cells with eccentric hyaline degeneration. These tumor cells had a clear and sharp membrane, lightly stained abundant cytoplasm with a fine reticular translucent pattern and irregular nuclei. And a perinuclear halo was often seen in these cells. Histochemically, the tumor cells generally show a diffuse and strong reaction for CK-8 with a negative expression of Vimentin. The pTNM stages of the tumor were as follows, pT1N0M0 in 11 cases, pT2N0M0 in 8 cases, pT3aN0M0 in 5 cases, pT1N1M0 in 3 cases,pT2N1M0 in 2 cases. Twenty-six cases of patients were followed up (24 to 144 months, with an average of 90 months), 3 cases died of cardio-cerebrovascular disease, and local recurrence involved in 6 cases with reoperation in 4 cases, as well as distant metastasis in 1 case. Twenty-one cases survived with tumor-free.The statistical results indicated that the survival rates of the patients with chromophobe renal cell carcinoma in five years and ten years were 83.9%, 77.9%, respectively, compared with renal cell carcinoma of the same stage 63. 8% and 49. 9% at the same periods, and there is no difference in the survival rate of five years( P ＞ 0. 05 ) but significant difference in that of ten years ( P ＜ 0. 01 ). Conclusions Chromophobe renal cell carcinoma is a morphologically uncommon subtype of renal cell carcinoma with the good prognosis. Definite diagnosis depends on its typical pathological feature. Radical nephrectomy is the first choice for the treatment of chromophobe renal cell carcinoma.

Abstract：

Objective To discuss the imaging characteristics of chromophobic cell renal carcinoma (CCRC) and study the features on the contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS). Methods The CEUS features of CCRC in 28 cases identified by pathology were reviewed. The blood supply and enhancement characteristic were observed and analyzed on time intensity curve parameters. Results The 28 cases of CCRC showed poor blood supply in contrast with the renal cortex. The CCRC presented with heterogeneity enhancement, part of the tumor took on a high wash-in and wash-out, and enhanced less intense than the surrounding renal cortex. The actinomorphous strong echo of the tumors might be revealed with CEUS in 15 cases (54%). The time intensity curve analysis demonstrated that the CCRCs' difference of peak intensity and area under the curve were lower than the renal cortex (P＜0.05), but arrival time, time-to-peak and slope of ascending curve were higher than the renal medulla (P＜0.05). Conclusion The actinomorphous enhancement and poor blood supply in the tumor of CEUS could provide diagnostic evidence for CRCC.

Hybrid Renal Cell Carcinomas Containing Histopathologic Features of Chromophobe Renal Cell Carcinomas and Oncocytomas Have Excellent Oncologic Outcomes

Background

Modern histopathology is able to differentiate chromophobe renal cell carcinomas (cRCCs), oncocytomas, and chromophobe–oncocytic hybrid RCCs; however, the true frequency and clinical courses of these tumors remain unclear.

Objective

To determine the clinical course of hybrid RCC.

Design, setting, and participants

Ninety-one surgically treated tumors, originally classified as oncocytoma or cRCC, were slide reviewed and reclassified by an experienced uropathologist. Immunohistochemical cytokeratin-7 (CK7) staining was used to distinguish oncocytoma (CK7 positive in <10% of the cells) and hybrid RCCs (CK7 positive in >10% of the cells).

Interventions

Radical tumor nephrectomy or nephron-sparing surgery.

Measurements

Recurrence-free and tumor-specific survival.

Results and limitations

Overall, 16 tumors (17.6%) were hybrid RCCs, 32 tumors were cRCCs, and 43 tumors were pure oncocytomas. Perinephric tissue invasion (pT3a) was found in one pure oncocytoma and in two hybrid RCCs. The pathologic stage for cRCC was pT1 in 50% of tumors (n = 17), pT2 in 23.5% of tumors (n = 8), and pT3a in 26.5% of tumors (n = 9). Low-grade RCC was found in 76.5% of tumors (n = 26), and vascular invasion was found in 11.8% of tumors (n = 4). After a mean follow-up of 50 mo, no oncocytomas or hybrid RCCs were found, but two cRCCs had recurred. The 3-yr tumor-specific survival rates for patients with oncocytoma, hybrid RCCs, and cRCC were 100%, 100%, and 97%, respectively.

Conclusions

Hybrid RCCs are more common than expected. The survival rate is 100% for both hybrid RCCs and oncocytomas. Hybrid RCCs may be candidates for active surveillance, and surgery may be unnecessary. CRCCs should be treated because a small proportion of these tumors exhibit aggressive clinical courses.     

Chromophobe renal cell carcinoma in an 18-year-old female

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) in young adults is uncommon. Whether they have different clinicopathologic characteristics and outcomes from those in older patients is still a conflicting matter. In this article we present an uncommon subtype of RCC which is chromophobe RCC (chRCC) in a female aged less than 20 years.     

乳头状肾细胞癌的临床特征分析（附7例报告）

目的：观察乳头状肾细胞癌的临床特点,提高对其诊断要点、治疗及预后的认识。方法：回顾性分析7例乳头状肾细胞癌患者的临床资料,复习相关文献,并对患者进行随访。结果：7例患者均经病理证实为乳头状肾细胞癌,1例并发肾上腺腺瘤;首发症状主要以腰痛、血尿、消瘦、低热为主;CT影像均提示肿瘤密度在肾髓质期强化程度明显弱于肾皮质,且在肾髓质期和排泄期呈均匀强化;6例经腹行根治性肾切除,1例经腰行根治性肾切除,术后均辅以免疫治疗,未行放化疗;6例获随访,随访时间为3个月～2年,1例于术后6个月出现急性肾衰死亡,1例于12个月因肝及淋巴结转移死亡,其余4例在随访期间未出现复发和转移,无瘤生存至今。结论：乳头状肾细胞癌与其它肾细胞癌在临床表现上基本相同,但在影像学表现,病理形态及生物学行为上均与其他类型的肾细胞癌不同,诊断主要依靠CT影像,确诊有赖于病理和免疫组织化学检查,早期手术是首选治疗方式,其预后可能与分期及转移有关。     

Bilateral Chromophobe Cell Renal Carcinoma in Tuberous Sclerosis Comple

We report on a patient with tuberous sclerosis complex and polycystic kidney disease who developed bilateral chromophobe cell renal carcinoma. We discuss the tuberous sclerosis complex, associated bilateral renal cell carcinoma, polycystic kidney disease and chromophobe cell renal carcinoma; a recently established subtype with a rather favorable prognosis.
In a patient with tuberous sclerosis complex and multiple space-occupying lesions, a diagnosis of angiomyolipoma should be considered first but bilateral and/or multifocal renal cell carcinoma is a likely diagnosis.     

Chromophobe Cell Renal Carcinoma in Childhood

We report the first case of chromophobe cell renal carcinoma in childhood. A 12-year-old boy presented gross hematuria following minor trauma. He was diagnosed as having a left renal tumor 45-mm in diameter. Radical nephrectomy was performed. One year later the boy was well.

目的：总结分析乳头状肾细胞癌的临床特点,提高其诊治水平.方法：回顾性分析2003～2009年收治的乳头状肾细胞癌的临床资料.并与同期53例肾透明细胞癌比较.结果：乳头状肾细胞癌组患者年龄57.3（47～78）岁,皆为男性,占同期肾细胞癌9.4%.就诊时3例无症状,2例出现肉眼血尿,1例双侧腰痛伴腹部包块.肿瘤平均最大径为6.6（2.6～16.0）cm,未见多中心病灶.TNM分期：T1a N0 M0 3例,T1b N0 M0 1例,T2 No M0 2例 病理分型I型3例,Ⅱ型3例 Fuhrman分级Ⅱ级2例,Ⅲ级4例.与肾透明细胞癌相比,乳头状肾细胞癌好发于男性,影像学检查不具备恶性肿瘤特征,确诊有赖于病理和免疫组织化学检查.临床分期皆为I期或Ⅱ期.就诊时无一例出现远处转移.结论：乳头状肾细胞癌在临床表现上与肾透明细胞癌相似,但在影像学表现、病理形态及生物学行为上均与肾透明细胞癌有所不同.根治性肾切除术是目前首选治疗方式.靶向治疗有可能成为转移性乳头状肾细胞癌治疗的新方向.     

Grading Chromophobe Renal Cell Carcinoma: Evidence for a Four-tiered Classification Incorporating Coagulative Tumor Necrosis

BackgroundAlthough grading systems have been proposed for chromophobe renal cell carcinoma (ChRCC), including a three-tiered system by Paner et al (Paner GP, Amin MB, Alvarado-Cabrero I, et al. A novel tumor grading scheme for chromophobe renal cell carcinoma: prognostic utility and comparison with Fuhrman nuclear grade. Am J Surg Pathol 2010;34:1233–40), none have gained clinical acceptance, and the World Health Organization (WHO) currently recommends against grading ChRCC.ObjectiveTo validate a previously published grading scheme and propose a scheme that includes tumor necrosis.Design, setting, and participantsA total of 266 patients who underwent nephrectomy for nonmetastatic ChRCC between 1970 and 2012 were reviewed for ChRCC grade according to the Paner system and coagulative tumor necrosis.Outcome measurements and statistical analysisAssociations with cancer-specific survival (CSS) were evaluated using Cox proportional hazard regression models and summarized with hazard ratios (HRs).Results and limitationsTwenty-nine patients died from RCC; the median follow-up was 11.0 (interquartile range 7.9–15.9) yr. ChRCC grade according to the Paner system was significantly associated with CSS, including the difference in outcome between grade 1 and 2 tumors. Among patients with grade 2 tumors, the presence of tumor necrosis helped delineate patients with worse CSS. As such, the Paner system was expanded to four tiers separating grade 2 into those with and without tumor necrosis. HRs for associations of the proposed grade 2, 3, and 4 tumors with CSS were 4.63 (p = 0.007), 17.8 (p < 0.001), and 20.9 (p < 0.001), respectively. The study is limited by the lack of multivariable analysis including additional pathologic features.ConclusionsThe expansion of a previously reported ChRCC grading system from three to four tiers by the inclusion of tumor necrosis helps further delineate patient outcome and can, therefore, enhance patient counseling following surgery. It also aligns the number of ChRCC grades with the WHO/International Society of Urologic Pathology four-tiered grading systems for clear cell and papillary RCC.Patient summaryChromophobe renal cell carcinoma is the third most common type of renal cancer, and unlike other renal cancers, there is no accepted prognostic grading system. In this study, we found that a grading system that included a pathologic feature of tumor necrosis could better define outcomes for patients with chromophobe renal cell carcinoma.     

Solitary Colonic Metastasis of Renal Cell Carcinoma

We report a rare case of a solitary metastasis of a renal cell carcinoma which manifested as a primary colonic tumour. A 60-year-old male patient who had undergone a right radical nephrectomy 5 years previously for renal cell carcinoma, presented with a history of dyspepsia and pain in the right upper abdomen. A mass on the hepatic flexure was detected by computed tomography and colonoscopy and right hemicolectomy was performed. Postoperative histo-logical examination revealed that the tumour was a metastatic renal cell carcinoma of the clear cell type.
