Xp11.2 translocation renal cell carcinoma with multiple bone metastases: A case report.

ABSTRACT: Xp11.2 translocation/transcription factor enhancer 3 (TFE3) fusion gene associated with renal cell carcinoma (Xp11.2 translocation RCC) is rare and occurs predominantly in children and adolescents. The current study reports the case of a 14-year-old male with Xp11.2 translocation RCC, who presented with chest pain that had persisted for 1 month. A solid neoplasm was located in the left kidney of the patient. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed the presence of a solid mass in the kidney, with uneven enhancement. Destruction of multiple bones was also observed. The patient was treated with a radical nephrectomy. The pathological examination of the tumor revealed that the tumor cells contained an eosinophilic cytoplasm in the renal interstitial tissue. Immunohistochemistry revealed that the tumor cells expressed P504S, cluster of differentiation 10, pan-cytokeratin, vimentin and TFE3. In conclusion, Xp11.2 translocation RCC is a rare type of kidney cancer. Diagnosing this disease prior to surgery is challenging, and providing a definite diagnosis requires histopathological and immunohistochemical examination, while genetic analysis may also be required.

Project description:The recently recognized renal cell carcinomas (RCCs) associated with Xp11.2 translocations (TFE3 transcription factor gene fusions) are rare tumors predominantly reported in children. They comprise at least one-third of pediatric RCCs and only few adult cases have been reported. Here, we present a case of Xp11.2 translocation RCC in 26-year-old pregnant female. Her routine antenatal ultrasonography accidentally found a complex cystic right renal mass. Further radiologic studies revealed unilocular cyst with multiple mural nodules at inferior pole of right kidney, which was suspicious for RCC. She underwent right radical nephrectomy at 15 weeks gestation. Macroscopically, the cystic tumor was well encapsulated with multiple friable mural nodules on its inner surface. Microscopically, the tumor consisted of clear and eosinophilic/oncocytic voluminous cells arranged in papillary, trabecular, and nested/alveolar patterns. Occasional hyaline nodules and numerous psammoma bodies were present.Immunohistochemically, the tumor showed strong nuclear positivity for TFE3. Epithelial membrane antigen, CD10, and E-cadherin were strongly positive. Cytokeratin AE1/AE3, cytokeratin CAM-5.2, calveolin, and parvalbumin were moderately positive. Cytokeratin 7, renal cell carcinoma antigen, and colloidal iron were focally weakly positive. BerEP4 and carbonic anhydrase IX were negative. Cytogenetically, the tumor harbored a novel variant translocation involving chromosomes X and 19, t(X;19)(p11.2;q13.1). Interphase FISH analysis performed on cultured and uncultured tumor cells using a dual-color break-apart DNA probe within the BCL3 gene on 19q13.3 was negative for the BCL3 gene rearrangement. She received no adjuvant therapy, delivered a normal term baby five months later, and is alive without evidence of disease 27 months after diagnosis and surgery. Unlike most recently reported Xp11.2 translocation RCCs in adult patients with aggressive clinical course, this adult case occurring during pregnancy with a novel translocation involving chromosome 19 followed an indolent clinical course.
