AIMS: Fumarate hydratase (FH)-deficient renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a high-grade, aggressive tubulopapillary carcinoma, arising predominantly in the setting of the hereditary leiomyomatosis-RCC syndrome of familial uterocutaneous leiomyomatosis and deficiency of FH. In contrast, succinate dehydrogenase (SDH)-deficient RCC is a lower-grade oncocytic carcinoma with cytoplasmic flocculence/vacuolation and inclusions, arising mostly in individuals harbouring germline mutations of subunit B of the SDH complex (SDHB). Herein we aim to report the clinicopathologic features of a novel form of FH-deficient RCC showing a low grade oncocytic morphology, reminiscent of SDH-deficient RCC. METHODS AND RESULTS: These distinctive, low-grade oncocytic neoplasms, with solid, nested and focally tubular architecture (2-90 mm), arose in four males (aged 11-41 years). Uniform cytology of polygonal cells, with flocculent, vacuolated eosinophilic cytoplasm with scattered inclusions, fine chromatin, and inconspicuous nucleoli, was apparent. Despite these features suggestive of SDH-deficient RCC, each tumour was confirmed as an FH-deficient carcinoma with retained SDHB expression. One case showed a synchronous, anatomically separate, typical high-grade FH-deficient RCC; one other showed such a tumour at nephrectomy 4 years later. No progression has been noted at 3 and 7 years in the cases with only the SDH-like lesions; the two cases with separate, typical FH-deficient RCCs progressed. CONCLUSIONS: In summary, we characterize a novel oncocytic type of FH-deficient RCC with a striking resemblance to SDH-deficient RCC, posing a diagnostic challenge and raising concerns about sampling and multifocality for syndrome-associated cases under surveillance protocols. |
