Popis: TFE/translocation renal cell carcinoma (tRCC) was formally recognized by the WHO in 2004 as a distinct, typically translocation-associated, RCC with characteristic morphology and immunohistochemical expression of TFE3 or TFEb. Cytogenetic translocations may include TFE3-ASPS, TFE3-PRCC, TFEb-alpha, or other variants; mechanisms for TFE upregulation may be heterogenous. TFE3 and TFEB are members of the MiTF/TFE family of basic helix-loop-helix-leucine zipper transcription factors [1–3].
